Hi folks! Well, something new and different in the shack. I've been
licensed since my 'teens (1964). It may have taken a few years (!), but I
just got my first Ten Tec xcvr! My OMNI-D is loaded and has the 255 P/S.
Even though it dates from the 1980s, it is a really nice radio. The first
thing I noticed was the RX noise floor - very quiet. The counter timebase
was off about 100Hz for WWV, and that was an easy adjustment. Beats me why
I waited so long to get one of these. It is one fine rig.
Anxious to get on one of the Sunday Nets.

Alex,
The Omni-C is a great radio. I got the chance to compare an Omni-C and
Eagle side to side. Considering the 30 years difference in age the
Omni-C was fantastic. Yes, I would like to own an Eagle and maybe
someday I will. If I had known the Eagle was going to be on sale I could
have sold a few extra radios so I would have had the funds.
I also have a Corsair II and a Paragon. You could say the Omni-C,
Corsair II and the Paragon make up my first string team. Neat thing is I
have extra parts radios for the Corsair, Corsair II and Omni-C. With my
38 years of electronics experience I plan to keep those great radios
humming till I am a silent Key.
My current TenTec Radios line-up:
Argosy D Delta
Omni-C Corsair
Corsair II Paragon
Enjoy your great radio, 73'S KA5SIW
