[TenTec] Old Omni/30 mtrs

[DaveHeller]

$50 for a WORKING Omni D?  That's not a bargain.  It's grand larceny.
Invest another couple $ in a manual from T=T - I think they're in stock
and if not I'll make a photo of mine.  It's short on bells and whistles,
but hard to beat on RX and TX at any price, especially on CW (and who
needs phone.)

Hi Dave,

Congradulations,  that is one of the best Radios of the 80s,  If
everything 
is working properly, it will  outperform many of the current $800 radios

today,   especially with the optional filters ( which are still
available 
and often you see them here on the reflector for 60 or 70 bucks. )

If it does transmit on the other bands,  then there is no upgrade path,
( 
the upgrade kits are not available anymore ).

Best thing is to enjoy the radio, then when you are ready upgrade.

Best wishes,
Rich
