It has been a while since I wrote a note to this board, but I am doing the research needed to make a buying decision on a new rig. My current station has a Ten Tec Omni VI opt 1 along with other rigs
My Omni VII is of August 2007 vintage. The hardware is the same today. There may be some production changes to which I am not aware. A year ago I added the ATU option which I find works extremely wel

Rip, The Jupiter has been selling for about 13 years, and has still not been replaced. The OM7 is only about 6 or 7 years old. My gut feeling is, we'll see a Jupiter replacement long before we see an
Speaking of Mr. Van Winkle... I know Mr. Julian Van Winkle, III. He produces a nice 10% wheated bourbon which goes down smoothly whilst working DX or those late night nets in the shack. The 107 proof
This is always a concern purchasing a radio that has been on the market for a while. However if it does all that one needs in a radio, is waiting for a replacement worthwhile? Perhaps a used one is a
i cant recall buying very few pieces of used equipment in my years. i recently updated to a jupiter and all i can say i am happy for 800bux with a/t. so if you want it buy it. bob all things are
What I find interesting (if I'm reading Sherwood's chart correctly) is that the Corsair (other than filter ultimate rejection) and Omni V come in very close to a statistical dead heat with the Omni V
James may very well prove to be right with his hunch about Ten-Tec's future. It is probably not possible for Ten-Tec to compete with the imports on the very low end. There's a saying in business: <>
Well when speculating a new rig... The biggest drawbacks of the Eagle are: <> To small for a nice home station <> Lack of a decent S-meter (I can't even read it). <> Not enough filter slots to operat
Isn't the Eagle receiver based on the Orion? Isn't the Omni VII receiver (and original Orion subrx) based on the Jupiter, only with filtering added at the 455khz i.f.? 73, Barry N1EU ________________
Not necessarily. What it shows is the HUGE step backwards the industry took, when it switched from downward conversion to upward conversion. This is apparent in one of my earlier posts to this thread
Look at current Sherwood test results. When Japan cuts corners they get FTDX 3000 results.........................82db. The FTDX3000 is a down conversion radio. George, W6GF............Proud owne
No Barry, at least no to the Omni VII being based on the Jupiter. It shares the same IF simply because that is a common IF in nearly all radios that have upward conversion. The front end of the OM7 w

Eagle/Argonaut in a Jupiter case... with 100 watt PA... costing... $1500 fully loaded. Would blow the socks off of all of the imports except the TS-590. __________________________________ Hmm.... I t
Yeah... me, too. It was a big part of my decision to make the Omni VII my first ham transceiver. -- K8JHR -- that says something about what Ten-Tec accomplished in their design. _____________________
BUYER BEWARE: THE JA companies are very good at building $10K radios which halfway perform, and then building cheaper ones that look like their big brother, but whose performance stinks. Other Exampl
Adding the Inrad cw roofing filter to the Omni 6 is an easy and cost effective way to bring its performance to the top tier of narrow spaced IMD performance. 73, Barry N1EU __________________________
Yes, indeed it is. And no hassle with software menus, either! Progress? ;-) 73 Rick, DJ0IP VI+. Adding the Inrad cw roofing filter to the Omni 6 is an easy and cost effective way to bring its perform
