[TenTec] New Eagle vs. Used Omni VII

[John Sheeley]

The only reason I don't trade my Omni VII is because of its ability to run 
renote base . Any radio can be made to run remote base but it is a lot more 
trouble to set up . And the O7 has 3 emty  slots for fermware upgrades. A CW 
decoder or on screen PSK decoder  could be just a fermware update away. I think 
I will keep my Omni VII and Orion II . I would still like to have a Eagle too . 
It sure looks like a great  little radio .

Merry Christmas to all my Ten Tec friends

Hello Frank,

I bought an Omni VII when they were first offered, and have actually 
contemplated selling it to try out an Eagle.  Doesn't appear that the Omni 
VII has any features for a casual operator that the Eagle lacks, and 
evidently the Eagle receiver performance is better.  So, a new rig ( with a 
one-year warranty ), for probably less money than a used Omni VII, in your 
position wouldn't think twice about buying the Eagle.

GL & 73, Curt KB5JO
