[TenTec] New OMNI VII

[CSM(r) Gary Huber]

Just a few observations after nearly three days with a new OMNI VII purchased/ordered at the Dayton Hamvention (last weekend).

Receiver - WOW! lots of flexibility with filter / bandwidth, attenuation/preamp combinations.

Transmit - bandwidth / roll-off, mike gain, and speech processing provide DX punch.

QSK with Titan 425, outstanding!

Driving the seven band - memory lines of the Model 253 Auto Ant Coupler; easy using Commander's (DXLab Suite) devices and computer parallel port.

And DUH!..... remember to turn OFF the "Monitor" function to avoid feedback on transmit in voice modes.
