[TenTec] Omni VII

[Ed Purvis]

   What I don't like about the OMNI VII?

    So far, after three weeks, nothing! Having
  a tuner for six meters would be nice. Hopefully
  a lightweight headset(like W2ENY sells) will be
  available soon.

    I went from an OMNI VI+ to the VII. For a short
  time I missed the big-box and simple elegance of
  the VI+. Most, if not all controls on the VII
  work as well as the VI+, plus have levels that
  can be changed in menu. Transmit audio with the
  708 mic got very good reports with flat settings.
  Receive audio sounds very nice to me with the in-
  ternal speaker. I do use an external speaker(Drake
  MS-4). I like to place a speaker several feet away
  from operating position.

    Anyway, you only asked about dislikes. Seems I
  have a case of the "can't help its" about this rig.
