COMING OCTOBER 2006
The legendary OMNI series returns with OMNI-VII

OMNI-VII is the first truly Net-Ready ham transceiver.  No PC required at 
the rig to operate remote! Locate your OMNI-VII anywhere you have wideband 
Internet access.  Simply connect its built-in Ethernet port to your router 
with our exclusive One Plug connection.  Delivers live receive AND transmit 
operation from anywhere else in the world from another wideband Internet 
access!  A simple GUI (Graphical User Interface) written for the OMNI-VII is 
included.  That is not all - the latest GUI source code (written in Visual 
Basic) and complete programming instructions can be downloaded to build your 
own GUI.

Unrivaled Close-in Dynamic Range in price class.  OMNI-VII just raised the 
receiver performance bar for the competition!  Our new Distributed Roofing 
Filter architecture places narrow filters in both the 1st and 2nd IFs at 
just the right places.  Two built-in filters at 20 kHz and 6 kHz are 
included, optional Collins mechanical filters at 2.5 kHz, 500 Hz, 300 Hz are 
also available.   Filters can be selected manually or use AUTO for automatic 
selection via front panel DSP Bandwidth control.  Also included are 34 
built-in DSP bandwidth filters from a minimum of 150 Hz to 9 kHz maximum.

Take a look at what else OMNI-VII brings to your shack:

HF + 6:  Transmit coverage on 6 through 160 meters, 100 watts output, even 
on 6.  General coverage receive from 500 kHz to 30 MHz continuous plus 50 to 
54 MHz.   SSB, CW, AM, FM, Digital modes.  Dual VFOs with SPLIT and REVERSE 
functions.

Full-function Color Screen:  STN transmissive color LCD display with CFL 
backlight, 320 x 240 pixels.

Legendary QSK CW includes adjustable rise and decay times. User adjustable 
at the touch of a knob for "hard" or "soft" keying according to your taste. 
Built-in keyer can be used in Curtis A or B modes, adjustable 5-63 WPM.

18 selectable transmit bandwidths: from 1000-4400 Hz.  DSP-generated to give 
your SSB audio a well rounded sound tailored to your voice characteristics. 
A low frequency roll-off provides further control.

RX EQ in 6 db/octave filters selectable in 1-dB steps from high pitched at 
minus 20 dB to essentially flat response at 0 dB to bassy at plus 20 dB.

DSP Noise Reduction, automatic notch and manual notch reduces interference 
from undesired carriers and random noise.  Manual notch range 20-4000 Hz 
center, 10-300 Hz width, 60 dB rejection.

Band Sweep gives you a snapshot of the entire band in seconds.  Find the 
pileups or scout for a clear spot automatically without touching the tuning 
knob.

Broad range Auto Tuner: identical tuner as used in the ORION II, matches 
most antennas up to 10:1 SWR (3:1 on 6 meters).  100 Tune Memories.  Order 
your OMNI-VII with or without this option.

Three antenna connectors:  Two SO-239 transceiver outputs, plus a third 
SO-239 connector for auxiliary receive-only antenna.  Antenna switching is 
front panel selectable.

Remote Control in the Shack: In addition to remote control over the 
Internet, the TEN-TEC GUI will also control the OMNI-VII from the Ethernet 
port on your PC, including RX and TX audio.  Alternatively, numerous other 
programs already on the market can control the rig using the serial 
interface (no audio).

Updates by Flash-ROM: Serial port interface for local rig control via PC and 
for Flash-ROM updates available via the Internet.  Commands are a superset 
of those used for the Jupiter.  To obtain the very latest version of the 
OMNI-VII, visit our firmware download website at www.rfsquared.com and 
download the software.  Connect the radio to a serial port on your PC and 
you are up to date in a flash.  Easy!

traveler at only 5 inches H x 12 inches W x 14.75 inches D.  Weighs just 14 
pounds!
