Hello all, I have finally saved up some money and I am looking to upgrade from my old triton IV... I am considering several right now: FT-950, TS-2000, 746Pro, Jupiter... I want to get the "best" rad
Hi Lou, Yes I have thoughts, but they are somewhat limited. Myself I like TenTec, US products, and the ability to talk to a tech or have repairs done somewhere that I am comfortable. I have a 5 year
Put another $250 with your $2000 and get W2NRA's Omni VII. http://lists.contesting.com/pipermail/tentec/2008-July/082498.html Looks like a pretty good deal to me! 73, Alan N5NA http://www.tentecwiki.
My omni vi plus upgraded to option 3 has an excellent reciever...very comparable to my omni vii, and it can be interfaced with logging programs to ensure feq hopping during contesting. I would highly
Lou Save a few dollars and buy the Omni VII. Great rig that will cover all your needs and you have 30 days to return it. _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@con
Lou - All the radios you listed would be very nice mid grade transceivers. Here's my reaction based on my experience with Ten Tecs. Omni VI (option 1-3 and plus) has only basic computer interface, bu
You asked, so here are my thoughts. With a $2K budget for a new rig, you can have a really great system. Don't forget the cost of optional filters and a power supply. Now call Stan at TenTec and ask
Hi Lou, I have been "in the quest" for a better rig a while. I used the Collins S Line from 1964-1987. Then I used a Kenwood 940 from 1987-2000 when I went to the FT1000D. As I got more serious about

Used Omni V, Omni VI, and Omni VI+ are great choices in your budget range. The Elecraft K3 is also a great radio for what you want to do, and would fit your budget if you didn't load it up with too m
Used Yaesu FT1000Ds are on the market now for $1900. The Kenwood TS850 is much less (get a later serial number). These are both excellent contest rigs for ssb and have very robust PAs for 100% duty c
Rob Remember to add that Yaesu and/or Kenwood will NO longer SERVICE these radios. As a matter of fact, I can't get a final for my Yaesu FT 100 that is much newer than either of these rigs. I might a
Lou, Remember to check the software you intend to use with the rig. I got a Pegasus as my "digital" rig and intended to use HRD and other software with it - figured it was just a faceless Jupiter so
Both Winlog 32 and N1MM Logger are freeware (you may contribute to their effort if you like) and are excellent programs. Both should support the Omni VI series nicely Dave WA3MKB ____________________
Ok, u r on the Ten Tec reflector so expect good words abt them. Here is my list in order of best to lesser: OMNI ONE used.... best buy in ham radio today. Elecraft K3... the options really run up the

Charles - can I assume you mean Orion I when you say OMNI I? 73, Duane Duane Calvin, AC5AA Austin, Texas www.ac5aa.com Ok, u r on the Ten Tec reflector so expect good words abt them. Here is my list
I agree - Orion I, hands down and that will be a rig you can really grow into over the years. I'd definitely avoid the 12+ year old radios on your list since you don't sound eager to service them. 73
