Every now and again the topic of future (dream) radio comes up. In my opinion, expensive radios are not the bread and butter of any company and in light of the life cycle of components these days, no

Having or having been through the "lot", today the Omni VII is the radio with the features and good performance. Likely there are still enhancements in the pipe for the Omni VII. I view this as very
Why bother with an S meter? In every contest that I've worked every one receives and gives a 599 report followed by "uh, could you give your call phonetically as I did't get it". Geez, I thought one
