Thirty years ago my ex got ALL my stuff. I told myself no more tube stuff. I got a brand new fully loaded OMNI VI. TT made me a good deal on the OMNI VII when they first came out. So what did I do last year, I got a ALPHA amplifier with tubes. TT did the same thing, tubes. With all the SDR toys available a new radio is got to be a major task for TT. 73 Spencer W1GAK
