In contrast, while I liked the 590, I prefer the ergonomics of my Omni VII. It is all good. --JHR -- The "feel" of a radio is very subjective, much like the same characteristic of a good key or paddl
Right... Or... get a $20 PCI or PCIe serial port add in card for your computer and save yourself all kinds of worries and problems with USB drivers. Paid something like $16 for a 4 port card and now
REALLY ??? You say this is all based on science. OK... SHOW ME THE SCIENCE. Instead of calling me names, please EXPLAIN exactly what makes this problem statistically significant. Screw the lawyer ref

Goodness... Before, everybody was complaining because TT was not making enough money ... and now that it IS ... they complaint about about that too. Some guys worry it this is the end of TT as we kno
Hi Vic -- I am far from expert on this, but I wonder if you can locate ANOTHER protective diode in the receiver circuit. I once killed my Omni VII receiver by hot-switching an "active" receive only a
