[TenTec] Omni VII+

[Rick at dj0ip.de]

I have added an external preselector to my IC-7300 and when operated
properly (i.e., reducing the RF gain because it is too sensitive most of the
time), I can hear everything with it that I can hear on my Eagle.

The changes to the new Eagle are too extensive to have an upgrade to the old
Eagle.
I believe Mike said that in the video that was made of him at Dayton.

May the Sunspots be with us!

I have not used an Omni VII. Having used the IC7300, Orion, Orion II, and
599
I'll testify that when it comes to hearing a weak signal in the noise...
the Tentecs win.

As for market. The Elecraft stuff does fine against 7300 with much high
prices.

Mike mentioned changes to the Eagle. I will be interested if he offers
upgrade kits. I really like the Eagle. It hears well. It's easy to use. I
hate all the buttons and menu layers on most of the JA made gear.  But it's
like the original was never finished. The only thing he did not mention that
would make the Eagle great is a receive antenna.
