[TenTec] Omni VII Plus at Hamvention!

[John Occhipinti]

It sounds like the new Owner of TEN-TEC is pricing himself right
out of the Amateur Radio market with this over priced Omni VII+.

This is just my opinion after personally knowing the former
Owner of TEN-TEC Jack Burchfield K4JU and past President of
TEN-TEC Jim Wharton NO4A.
