[TenTec] OMNI VII

[Richard Bell]

I had pretty much decided I wouldn't but the tuner option.  I've got a couple of tuners and I don't mind turning knobs.
 
The Omni looks like a great radio. I believe I'd be happy with it.
 
Thanks!

If you do any CW, you'll want the 500Hz & 300 Hz filters. They work well on digital, also unless you want a waterfall with wider bandpass. I'm not a great fan of internal tuners. The used VII I found has a tuner, but I've turned it off. Great rig. I love it

I am planning to take the dive and buy an Omni VII.  Any thoughts, advice? 
  
I am the current owner of a Drake TR7 and Kenwood 830S (purchased in '82 by me).  So it's well past time for me to invest in a new rig (hope the YL doesn't notice). 
  
I had considered and Elecraft K3 or an Flex 3000. 
  
I'm not a contester but just a rag chewer who occassionally does digital. 
  
If you like, feel free to respond to me off the list.  I would like the know the good and the bad.
