[TenTec] Why are so many dumping their OMNI VI Transceivers ????

[Clayton Brantley]

Guys,
Anyone parting out an Omni VI?  I need a PLL board to get mine back up and 
running.
I have a working Icom 735 that I would trade for an non-working Omni VI or VI+.

Gents, 

I checked the eHam listings and found a few more of the  vaunted K-3s for 
sale than Omni VIs.  Given that the Omni VI had a  production span of nearly 
a decade, with likely over 90% of them  still in use, you'd have to agree 
that there must be a high level of  satisfaction among owners and users.

I miss mine!

Paul, K5AF

Dumping - eh? That's the premise? ;-)  

I have seen no dumping personally unless one considers $1000 on a  
(minimum) 10 year old radio a sacrifice. 

I have a seen guys line up in  the 70's to rid themselves of that old tech 
Collins (tube) gear at fire sale  prices, to make room for that nice TS820, 
etc. Eventually that trend turned -  and howdy. ;-)

We are living in the golden age of cheap transceivers,  old and new, lately 
I have been enjoying the old more than the new.  !!!

Personally,  I got my Omni VI+ a few months back when I swapped rigs with a
gentleman  out west.  He needed a mobile rig with an auto tuner, so my
TS-480SAT  was just what he needed.

Was it a fair swap? Well, I'm very happy, and  I haven't heard any  
complaints
yet.
