Speaking only for myself, and take this for whatever it's worth... A friend of mine at one point owned an Omni VI+ and a K3. He later added an Omni VII to the operating collection. He used all three
Bry, let me put it this way... If I was going on a trip or a DXpedition, where size and weight of the radio was a major consideration (such as air travel restrictions on luggage), I would probably ta
Tom, I'm sure that if you decide to part with the S-Line, one of the gang in the Collins Collectors Association will be more than happy to help you get it to a new home. (Personally, I wouldn't mind
Rick, OmniRig, whatever it is, is something I've never heard of before. I've never even heard mention, or hints, of it before on the CQ Contest reflector, or anywhere else. If this is something that
Rick, Thank you for that explanation. Although I work in IT, I don't do any programming of contest related software, so I hadn't heard of Omni-Rig before. And I'm sure many other contesters haven't e
You may be right Rick, but think about this... The PC world is moving away from COM ports (and LPT printer ports as well), in favor of USB ports. Has been for years. You can order some computers with
Well Wade, while you're on the subject... As some of you know, I recently sent my Argonaut 505 to a new home. It was not a decision I made lightly, but the opportunity to pick up an Omni VII was just
Well, the story of the stupid destruction of those KWM-2/2A's and S-Lines is an old story. Sad to say, while there are variations on the theme, it's a common story from almost any US military install
Simple. YOU understand that the gear was only connected to the crypto systems (etc) WE understand that. But the people in charge, who made the decision, either didn't understand that, or didn't care.
I really doubt there's anything sinister going on here, gang. I suspect one of two things as being the core issue: First: Consider that the Orion's are no longer in production. So the remaining marke
How many Orions & Orion II's have been sold? Of that number, how many have already had the RX-366 upgrade? Of those that haven't, how many are likely to have it in the immediate future? (Say, the nex

Loomis was a quack. I'd rather hang out with Reginald Fessenden Doug, I think you've been hanging out with Mahlon Loomas too long! And for those of you who can't remember who he was, it might be wort

That's my understanding. Just give me a chance... I only received the rig on Sunday morning, just before the start of the club hamfest. To be perfectly honest, I've been too beat the last few evening
Nope. I just rescued the radio from a friend who went out and bought a TS-990. (You wouldn't BELIEVE how many people told me to snap it up before he changed his mind! ) So as far as I know, it came w

Sorry guys, I thought I was replying only to NY9H. Should have double-checked the "TO" line And if, like NY9H, you know of whom I was speaking.... look, he dabbled in Elecraft, and came back. He dabb
Many DXpeditions are loaned rigs by the manufacturers; in return, the manufacturer has "bragging rights" and will advertise that they are the "official" radio of the DXpedition (or at least one of th
