Fellow Ten Tec admirers, I'm torn between a new Eagle and a used Omni VII. I do mostly casual operating, get on contests only to make contacts (never to compete), operate 160 to 6, do mostly CW and P
I think I would be torn between a new Eagle and a used Orion. And that would take the dynamic range issue right out of the picture. 73, Barry N1EU _______________________________________________ TenT
Frank, I must admit to being a little envious right now. I had been saving up for an Omni VII, but a furnace repair last night (a neccesity in Pittsburgh at this time of the year!) just ate up most o
Hello Frank, I bought an Omni VII when they were first offered, and have actually contemplated selling it to try out an Eagle. Doesn't appear that the Omni VII has any features for a casual operator
Tough decision, Frank, I have a used Omni VII on the way. It won because: 1) I gotta have the remote tuning pad. I've got them on my Omni VI+'s and love them. With keypad and 3 function keys, it's a
The only reason I don't trade my Omni VII is because of its ability to run renote base . Any radio can be made to run remote base but it is a lot more trouble to set up . And the O7 has 3 emty slots
FYI, there is a key input on the back panel as well as the front. The PTT connection in the ACC1 jack serves as a keying input when in the CW mode. _______________________________________________ Ten
Yes, but that is for either a straight key or a keyer output. I want to use the internal keyer and that is not supported on the rear. Thanks, however, for the time and attention to my issue. That is
You CAN plug your key into the back of the Omni VII as well as on the front. == K8JHR == why does the Omni VII have it on the front, and a 1/4" monster at that. == ___________________________________

Hey guys. We're hams! How difficult is it to disconnect the cable from the rear plug and run the cable from the front plug back to the rear? Then, when you sell or trade the rig put it back as it was
How would YOU terminate the cable at the rear of the rig? Would you drill a hole for a jack or just run the cable outside the rig and terminate with an "in-line" plug? Or some other plan I have not t
I would just use the key line on the accesory cable. If my memory is correct, this is the black female RCA jack omn the acessory cable. This key line is great for straight keys and external keyers si
Once again, the point is missed. There is a lead on the accessory jack if I wanted to just use a straight key or an external keyer. We covered that earlier. Let me try this again: I WOULD LIKE TO USE
Good solution, Carl. I don't own an Eagle nor have I read the manual, so my suggestion to unsolder and change key cables was just out of "ham creativity". Scott K4VWK --Original Message-- ___________
Hi Gang: In looking at the photos of the Eagle on Ten-Tec's site... I -onlysaw a key jack on the rear of the radio... nothing on the front. Did I miss the point? The only jacks I see on the front are
No, you didn't miss a thing. My original point was that: 1) My Omni VI+'s have a 1/8" jack on the rear panel that supports the internal keyer with the paddle of your choice 2) The Eagle has a 1/8" ja
if I had a wish for the Omni VII that is different than built, it would be We all have such wishes... mine would be for a second receiver, and for the audio monitor to get fixed (i.e. to listen to fi
