[TenTec] Single Sweep Spectrum Display

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

John:

I just purchased a new Omni VII this week.  Yes, it is a single sweep 
display.  It works quite nice however, I purchased the VII because of other 
and more important features like being able to tailor the RX bandwidth, and 
TX bandwidth, do some audio shaping both on RX and TX, the fine QSK, NR, AN, 
and other features, such as FM, AM and direct FSK.  The receiver is 
absolutely top notch in performance.  Plus has 6M coverage.  Love the 
adjustable bandwidth with the digital filters.  Easy to interface with my 
QSK amp.  Nice display that's easy to read and understand.  Well written 
manual.

I sold my Omni VI Plus station with 5 optional filters and traded in my 
Paragon II station for the Omni VII.

If I need a spectral display, I'll turn on my HP spectrum analyzer. All the 
spectral displays found in ham radios are just toys.

Buy one, you won't be sorry.
