Not trying to argue Barry, see and hear Rob Sherwood's explanation at the
Boulder Amateur Radio Club. Play the audio while viewing the slides. The
OMNI-VII gets to play in the CW contests IF it has a Mechanical CW filter
protecting its DSP.

It's not a question of arguing. The O7 rx has an up-converting first i.f.
that lacks a narrow filter. As a result, it is only capable of 80dB narrow
spaced dynamic range, compared with 90-95dB for the Eagle/Orion. That
means the Eagle/Orion will do a noticeably better job of copying a weak
signal when there's a very strong signal close by. If you don't have the
specific need of copying weak cw signals on a band crowded with strong
signals, then it wouldn't be an issue.

I won't start an argument, Barry... just ask a question: Why not
recommend the Omni VII as a CW contest rig?

Rick, you didn't say whether the contesting would be cw or ssb. If it's
cw
contesting, I'd go with Eagle or Orion. If it's ssb, any of the radios
would be fine.
