Clearly the release of 1.036 does greatly improve the receiver performance
in regard to noise loading the AGC. It also improved the internet
connectivity to an outstanding level of performance. I've used my laptop
with my cell phone as a "hot spot" and had many very successful QSO's with
the Omni VII connected to the internet. Even works mobile until I loose
cell phone service.
The current promotion pricing is simply outstanding and anyone with the
slightest opportunity should look into taking advantage of the packages and
attractive pricing. I do not see this promotion or pricing as or to any
degree of negativity with regard to the future of Tentec.
Simply it is time for hams to take advantage of the company promotion and
allow themselves to obtain some of the best ham equipment available on the
market today.

Subject: [TenTec] Reactions to Omni VII Firmware Revision 1.036 and QRN
Generated AGC Swamping?
Hi All,
Back in May, Ten Tec announced the release of firmware Version 1.036 for
the Omni VII. Among a number of revisions contained as outlined here by
John Henry on May 28th was "Improved handling of QRN/impulse type noise so
it wouldn't prematurely load up AGC."
I do not recall reading any reactions to this aspect of the 1.036 revision
release on this reflector or the Omni VII Yahoo group.
Last fall I posted here that this AGC issue needed priority improvement as
last summer's QRN here had made the Omni VII's receiver's AGC very
susceptible to QRN initiated swamping. I sold my Omni VII late last fall
primarily because of this issue when it appeared that no resolution was
soon to be forthcoming.
So, as we are again in QRN season here in MA, I am interested what
improvement in this QRN swamping AGC issue has been realized in V1.036?
Ten Tec's new Omni VII pricing has me thinking again as I really liked the
Omni VII...but in contrast to my Corsair II, Omni V.9 and my K3, the Omni
VII's QRN swamping issue as it stood last year was not acceptable here.
Has this been fixed?
Appreciate any of your feedback on or off the reflector.
