You should probably ask this question on the Ten-Tec reflector. 73, Tony W7GO On 9/27/2010 7:07 PM, Adriano Perazio wrote: > Hello all > I´m new here and thinking about a O7. > I run almost all the time in SSB contests and DX. > Own a 756 pro 3 but feel it noisy. > What you guys think about th

Looking at the ten tec web site, I cant help thinking their gear looks like cheap plastic boxes for the money. They have raised markings for the controls and so on, but no paint or anything, while the other usual suspects have brushed gold highlights, etc. Yes, how well something works is more im

Thank you all for taking the time to write such quality responses. I received several replies that showed a point-by-point comparison of both transceivers which was very useful. Based on features, performance, and price I'm pretty sure I will go with a K3. One other point worth mentioning is th

Hi Anthony, I can't really answer your question but, I would like to tell you my experience so far with building a K2. I'm still in the process of building it but, it is very impressive. The quality of the construction and parts is outstanding. It also has an all metal case including the fa

Hi Anthony, This would be difficult to do since the K3 has not hit the streets yet. While the VII has an ethernet port for remote control, the K3 will have an extensive array of remote capabilities built into its updatable firmware. The K3 receiver specs should be vastly better than the V

I am a long time Ten Tec user interested in upgrading. I have never used a piece of Elecraft equipment but am very intrigued by the K3. Are there any Elecraft users who can give me some advice about what I may expect from the K3 vs the OMNI VII since they are both near the same price? Thanks, An
