[TenTec] Omni V vs. TS850

[don daso]

The 850 is a superb SSB radio.  Ab-fab audio quality on TX & RX.  It's
QSK is not as good as a ten tec.
Personally, having owned an OMNI V, I'd say I like the 850 better.  But
using two OMNI VI+s in the shack, I much prefer those to the 850.  Even
on SSB (which I am not a fan of).

The IRC filters are a vy worthwhile addition to the 850.  

Most of the features you list as liking are not or have never been used
by me--the internal keyer, voice keyer, memories, etc.  So really cannot
compare them that way.

I would read N6TR's write up on the 850.  Vy worthwhile info....

regret it...)
