[TenTec] Ten Tec Omni 546

[Tony Martin W4FOA]

David,
I couldn't agree more.  I have the OMNI C lineup and not only is it a superb 
rig, it looks very nice on the desk.  The CW keying is exceptional and the 
receiver is every bit as hot as the receiver in my OMNI 6+ (and that is 
saying something).  I realize that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, 
but another beautiful rig from TT is the Corsair I.

For anyone interested, if you can find a clean OMNI C lineup, buying it 
would not be a mistake.  Fun radio.
Tony, W4FOA
