[TenTec] Ordered an Omni VII Today

[David S. McCallum]

Ok Thanks Michael for your reply and input and I agree 100%. I think the jupiter looked to dull and was boxy looking, the Omni V and Vll looked nice. Well time will tell and I hope it's reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ready when they release it, I think potential and old TT customers preeure TT to get ot out ASAP, then they are upset because it not what they want or expected it to be. I'm hoping for the best for TT, Thanks and keep me posted if you can, Mac/David.

  >...to me it looks too much like a Jupiter at least from the pic's I've seen
   
  I have to admit that I'm concerned about that as well.  TT tells me it's in another class above a Jupiter and I guess we'll see.  That's the beauty of that 30 day trial period <grin>.  I had a Jupiter for a while.... nice radio.  It just wasn't "different" enough from other available amateur sets to trip my trigger... 
   
  I'm pretty spoiled, since selling my Omni V.9 , I've tried other amateur sets... but the only radios that turn my crank so far are the surplus military sets I've acquired.... especially the Harris Falcon (RF-5020/22).  If I keep the Omni VII after 30 days, it will have to be REALLY good.  I'm hoping... <grin>.
