Save a few dollars and buy the Omni VII. Great rig that will cover all your
needs and you have 30 days to return it.

Subject: [TenTec] Looking for a rig upgrade...
Hello all,
I have finally saved up some money and I am looking to upgrade from my old
triton IV... I am considering several right now: FT-950, TS-2000,
746Pro, Jupiter... I want to get the "best" radio I can for under 2K...
I see TT is offering Omni IV factory upgraded to IV pluses for ~$1200...
are these worth considering?? I have been licenced for about a year, and
I am looking for something reasonably priced (<2K) that will not give me
problems and I can use for at least 2 years with out wnting more. My
current modes of interest are SSB, PSK31, and RTTY... I am still learning
code, so that will be a future interest...
I also have the option to hold off a bit longer and up my limit to
possibly get a new OMNI VII...
I guess I am just looking for some honest opinioins... Where I live hams
with newer rigs are pretty sparce, and with no stores within reasonable
driving distance I will be buying blindly... i.e. no desk time in front of
ANY of the radios I am considering....
My key requirements are
1) PC interface for logging
2) Quality... I don't want to keep woking on the radio or having it
repaired
3) Receive quality.... doen't have to have the best receiver, but don't
wnat to get tired of listening to it.
4) Stand up to some contesting. I am not a hard core contester, but I
have operating during a few contests and enjoyed it.
Any thoughts?
Lou
