[TenTec] Final Firmware O2

[Rsoifer at aol.com]

Hi,
 
I too am a generally happy owner of an O II, and don't see a really good  
reason to trade it for a K3.  However, I am a DXer and not a serious  
contester (not at this point anyway).  Were I a big-time contester I would  go for 
the K3 in a minute because of its better sub receiver and its ability to  
support CW Skimmer, neither of which do I, as a DXer, really need.  The O  II 
sub receiver is good enough for me and I like its general coverage.
 
To make the O II match those features of the K3 would require hardware  
mods, i.e., an O III or at least an O II Mk2.  So, I can see why T-T  are 
dragging their feet on O II firmware.
 
That said, I would still encourage T-T to follow through on O II firmware,  
if only to keep the customers' good faith.  The O II is an excellent  
radio.  Let's keep it up.
