[Alan Sewell N5NA]

Put another $250 with your $2000 and get W2NRA's Omni VII.

Looks like a pretty good deal to me!

I want to get the "best" radio I can for under 2K...  I see TT is offering Omni IV factory upgraded to IV pluses for ~$1200...  are these worth considering??   I have been licenced for about a year, and I am looking for something reasonably priced (<2K) that will not give me problems and I can use for at least 2 years with out wnting more.  My current modes of interest are SSB, PSK31, and RTTY...  I am still learning code, so that will be a future interest...
