[TenTec] O-2, First Impressions

[K5XS at aol.com]

Ci,
I am a novice at the Orion II (I just got mine last week), but I think I am  
pretty experienced with the Omni VI+ that I traded in, having had it (and  
heavily used it) for about ten years.
I loved my Omni VI+, but I will tell you the performance and user interface  
of the Orion II is SO nice.  The variable bandwidth really makes a  difference 
to me (I operate mostly CW), and the DSP is a couple of generations  better 
than what I had on the Omni VI+.  I am very happy I traded in my  Omni VI+.

I have a dilemma. I am considering buying a new Omni VII and  trading  in my 
Omni VI+. But the price for a used Orion (I) is about  the same from Ten  
Tec. I 
operate exclusively CW and do precious  little contesting. I am beginning  to 
think that the Omni VI+ I have  is still the perfect rig for me rathyer than  
either the Orion or the  Omni VII. I would appreciate any suggestions more  
experienced  operators my share with me (I have only been licensed almost 
three   
years). Thanks and 73, Ci
