[TenTec] Advice on my Omni VI

[Roger Rippy]

Thanks guys for all you advice and experience with this type of situation. Bob (K4TAX), I have followed your advice before and maybe I will do it again. After last nights episode, it eventually returned to full operation without me doing anything. Don (NT0F), your approach sounds good but like you said when you add up the money spent, the question becomes one of what you need to do to have a good reliable rig. And Paul (K0UYA), your point are well taken. I agree with the personal assessment that TT does not really want to work on Omni VI s any more and that really leads  me to question TT's direction and core values. But of course business is business and I fully understand the need to sell products and maintain cash flow. What we have found in my business is that a decent amount of return on capital can be achieved by focusing on service to including servicing the products that you have sold. So do you invest in an Omni VII, knowing that someday TT
 might choose to stop fully supporting this product or do you look at that other American amatuer radio manufacturer for your next rig. Of course what Don said hits home too in that I really.....really like my Omni VI and would turn around and buy a new one today if it was available. Enough said..........thanks guys and 73s   Rip    W7RIP
