TenTec video highlights the new owner of the company.
I really like his OMNI 7+ idea and as a CW operator would absolutely love to
have one.
It would be an uphill climb competing against $1K IC7300, even though the basic
operation on CW seems to be noticeably better. However with a roughly $2800
price, comparison would be versus IC7610.
As an IC7300 owner, I would pay $1500 for a new OMNI VII+ and would like a 2+
year no questions asked warranty.
I know - dream on!

Peter Bertini:
A birdie told me that Mike is showing the new Omni VII Plus at Hamvention.
Street price is $2999 according to rumor. Radio was said to be in
production.
That might be a bit high compared to imports, but it is probably a fact of
life for manufacturing costs in the US.
I give Mike credit for making something happen, it is a start and I'd love
to see an upgraded Orion offered one of these days.
