[Elecraft] advice on a rig

[Toby Pennington]

Susan,  someone else mentioned the Ten Tec Omni 7.   I recently used one of these for several weeks and found it a refreshingly simply rig to operate.  QSK cw is really great and the internal keyer is about as good as the one in the K3. 

There appear to be no major bugs or problems with this rig like I found with the Orion 2,  and if you are looking for a simple rig for casual operation then,  you will love the Omni 7. 

I would not think the Omni 7 is a contest radio,  but found the SSB filtering in the Omni to have sharper skirts than the filtering in my Icom 7700.  CW filtering seemed to be not as good as my 7700.   This is all subjective and just my observations. 

Good luck with your choice!
