Every now and again the topic of future (dream) radio comes up.
In my opinion, expensive radios are not the bread and butter of any company
and in light of the life cycle of components these days, not a good
investment from a cost of ownership point of view.
In the interest of Ten-Tec remaining in business, I would like to see
something like this:
<> A big brother to the Eagle, based on its existing technology
<> An entry-level price of well under $3K
<> Physically no larger than the Omni VI
<> An optional 2nd RX, like with the K3
<> Filter slots for all 5 filters
<> A readable S-Meter (at least 3x or 4x as large as the Eagle's)
<> Interfacing for an external bandscope, but no built-in band scope -
there are plenty of different solutions already available on the market
<> Band stack registers
<> Provision for an external RX antenna
<> Adjustable LEAD and HANG timing for external AMP relay control
<> As well as the KEYING LOOP
<> NOT a dark color. I find it difficult to read lables on any black
radio. Why not blue like Hilberling? The OM-VI was not bad either.
<> RED DOT
<> A big bag of sunspots ;-)

Subject: [TenTec] What's going to be next?
The Orion was a magnificent radio & it made it through two really nice
versions but for whatever reasons, an Omni 3 was not offered & the Omni 2
was the end of life of that lineage. The current top of the line is the Omni
7 which as I recall was not touted as highly as the Orion but was offered at
the same time.
Any next top of the line to be released TenTec heard about in the chatter?
