I noticed something several years ago........Ten Tec 's from the Corsair
and all models through the Omni VI plus strike a resemblance
cosmetically somewhat to the TR7...in that the front panel is made from
a single extruded piece of aluminum with a raised horizontal "bar" that
divides the top of the front panel where the freq display is,from the
bottom section where all the controls are located.
Not exactly the same,but very similar. Even used similar plastic end caps
Coincidence? or was it intentional? Certainly not copied from a
offshore radio design, can't recall any Yeacomwoods that resembled the TR7.
Flattery is the most sincere compliment

Wow, what a great thread on Collins vs. Drake. I've never had the

Thanks all for keeping this so objective.
It seems Ten-Tec came along much later in the game than Drake or
Collins, but also has a high regard from their owners. With the head
start that Drake and Collins had, perhaps it is not as fair a comparison.
In the 70's Ten-Tec had the Tritons, and early Omni's, with the Corsairs
in the early 80's.
So, how about a comparison of the Drake 4 and 7 lines with the above
mentioned Ten-Tec rigs?
