[TenTec] Question about New Omni VII

[Al Sirois]

Thursday afternoon, guys:

I was advised by Paul at T-T not to use a OMNI-D power supply for the 
OMNI-VII.
It doesn't have enough voltage to do the job that is needed for the "VII".

The Jupiter and the OMNI-VII have the same needs on voltage.

I currently run the T-T - #963 or the Alinco #DM-33MV for the OMNI-VII; and 
keep the T-T #252-M
for my OMNI-A or OMNI-D rigs. The rigs are happy now.

I got my new Omni VII yesterday, and let it thaw out overnight.  So far,
I have discovered that it will not work with the Ten Tec power supply
that has worked fine with the Corsair II for years.  But it works fine
with my Astron.

I am confused about one of the options.  It has CWL and CWU operation.
The last time I had to deal with this was when I was running my National
NCX-5.  I gather that it is the lower and upper sideband versions of CW,
but what difference does this really make? Is one preferable over the other?

I have read the manual several times, and have managed to make a few
contacts with it so far.  After the Argonaut II, the Argonaut VI, and
the Corsair II, I am not used to this sort of rig at all.

Help?
