[TenTec] Omni VII questions

[Mike Cumbo]

Hello Winston,

 I can't answer question #1 but did some testing on question #2. I see 
little or no attenuation of audio with a NR setting of 5. With a setting of 
9 there is some loss of audio but not much, not even enough to need to 
change the volume control setting. I am also using the 307 external speaker. 
My test was on 75 meter SSB.

Tnx, Mike Cumbo, ND4S
