[TenTec] Reactions to Omni VII Firmware Revision 1.036 and QRN Generated AGC Swamping?

[David and Dianne on Comcast]

Hi All,

Back in May, Ten Tec announced the release of 
firmware Version 1.036 for the Omni VII.  Among a 
number of revisions contained as outlined here by 
John Henry on May 28th was "Improved handling of 
QRN/impulse type noise so it wouldn't prematurely 
load up AGC."

I do not recall reading any reactions to this 
aspect of the 1.036 revision release on this 
reflector or the Omni VII Yahoo group.

Last fall I posted here that this AGC issue needed 
priority improvement as last summer's QRN here had 
made the Omni VII's receiver's AGC very 
susceptible to QRN initiated swamping. I sold my 
Omni VII late last fall primarily because of this 
issue when it appeared that no resolution was soon 
to be forthcoming.

So, as we are again in QRN season here in MA, I am 
interested what improvement in this QRN swamping 
AGC issue has been realized in V1.036?

Ten Tec's new Omni VII pricing has me thinking 
again as I really liked the Omni VII...but in 
contrast to my Corsair II, Omni V.9 and my K3, the 
Omni VII's QRN swamping issue as it stood last 
year was not acceptable here. Has this been fixed?

Appreciate any of your feedback on or off the 
reflector.
