What I or we need in a new TenTec:

RX-side:

RX-antenna input for beverages on the low bands
Crystal filters in the frontend
DSP-filters as an addition to the crystal filters
Second receiver, also using it on an other band
Variable AGC-times
Variable CW-pitch
Very low noise floor
No birdies
Possiblity to involve an external preselector
Filter usable in any mode
General conv. receiver


TX-side:
No spikes when driving a linear
No keyclicks
Two keyer inputs, one for the paddle, one for contesting software
Enough mikegain for the Heil HC4/HC5 cartidge
Smooth and quiet QSK with perfect shapes
Antenna-Tuner(RX and TX-side)
100 watt ouptut should be enough



Mostly above is already in the OMNI 6+ !!!
