Let me start off by stating that I'm not looking for a spec by spec comparison of these two radios. The jury is already in on that. I hope I can just keep a few shots from firing by saying that first.
I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has both the Omni VII and a K3. I'd like to know from an operating perspective what you think of both radios. I know they each have their strengths and a few weaknesses. I'm interested in A/B, side by side testing, during real operating conditions. Does one hear better than the other? Is one easier to operate? I know this is a personal thing, but I'd like to hear about it. Also, anything else that comes to mind would be appreciated. I had an OMNI V back when they first came out. It was a great radio at the time and probably can still hold its own against most of what's out there now. I've just always wanted to buy another Ten-Tec and did look for a V for awhile. With the VII out there now, that would seem the way to go at this point. I do have a second K3, a QRP version, on order. Another reason for looking at the Omni VII is that I'm very interested in buying as much American made gear for my shack as I can. I have a 756 PRO III that is the last of my Japanese stuff. All that's saving it at this point is the real-time bandscope. I'm still considering either selling it or trading it in. Please respond off list if you think this might generate a lot of flack. That's not my intention at all. I'm just beating the bushes for information.
