[TenTec] Omni 7 Specs???

[Tommy]

 From the Omni VII TenTec web site specs:  "Our new Distributed 
Roofing Filter architecture places narrow filters in both the 1st and 
2nd IFs at just the right places. " !!!

I've always thought that the term 'roofing filter' meant pre-IF 
filters. Isn't it true if filters are placed in the IF chain, they 
are NOT roofing filters, but IF selectivity filters?


Also "Legendary QSK CW includes adjustable rise and decay 
times."  Marketing jibberish? What the heck does 'rise and decay 
times' have to do with full QSK?  No mention of rcvr recover 
time?  'Legendary' meaning what? To my knowledge, Ten Tec has never 
put any specs on QSK or full-QSK, maybe since the disappointment with 
the Orion's, it's about time for them to explain exactly what they 
mean by QSK or go back to specifying receiver recovery time? I would 
hope they would do that. I would think it would be unwise to spend 
another 3000 bucks just to find out if it actually works or not.

The 'new' ALC really does sound very interesting and neat. However, 
to my knowledge, Ten Tec's gear is about the only gear that does NOT 
have a leading edge RF spike.
