Since it's now almost December and there's no indication that this board
is going be produced by the time Dayton rolls around in 2009, I thought
I'd bring this old message back up to the top again. In my book, this
is not a good mark on the Ten-Tec record. -- 73 de N8VZ

Thanks, Mike. If this is not an old, not-updated post, I was lied to at
Dayton. I was shown a prototype board and was told it was ready for
production. In fact, I was told that the week after Dayton they would
be having a production meeting and that the board would be ready for
general sales within three months or so. A friend of mine who bought an
ORION II about three years ago was told at that time that the board
would be ready "in a few months." He's ready to ditch his Ten-Ten
equipment he is so mad about this issue. When I gave him the
information from Dayton, including my live sitting of the prototype
board, he calmed down a little and said he'd give Ten-Tec a few more
months. In short, I hope what I was told at Dayton is more accurate
than this link. Perhaps, at this juncture Ten-Tec's recent "sins" are
no more than not updating a web page! :-)

Does anyone know the status the new display board that is coming out
for
the OMNI VII and ORION II? I saw a prototype at Dayton and was
assured
that it was ready for production. This board will allow, among other
things, for real time, continuous spectrum scope (like the ICOM 756
pro
series has). I'm really looking forward to this new board, which is
supposed to cost in the $300.00 range.
