[TenTec] New Radios in the Future

[TT fan]

Hi Bob --

That fits my modes operandi.   Perhaps the "genius" of the Omni VII is 
its flexible interface.   You can use it stand alone,  or completely 
computer controlled, or as a hybrid with both types of control.

I prefer the latter option,  enabling the front panel under Radio Mode, 
PLUS N4PY's computer control program which shares rig data with logging 
programs, auto tuners, and other stuff.  That gives me a best of both 
worlds unified approach linking the rig to other devices.

I never got excited about the OnePlug interface... I kept reaching for 
the front panel tuning knob and, of course, it does not work under OnePlug.

Just MY take.
