[TenTec] TS850 vs Omni V

[William G. Mills]

John,

I would purchase either the Ten Tec Omni V or the Yaesu FT-990 transceiver. 
The advantage with purchasing the Ten Tec is the factory will repair the 
radio.  To repair the Yaesu, you would have to go to a reputable repair tech 
such as Bryan Campbell in Tennessee.  The Kenwood TS-850 has problems and is 
in the non-supportable category from Kenwood.

Good luck on your purchase.

Best 73,

I may be in the market soon for an older (1990s)
contest quality rig, and wonder how the Kenwood TS850
compares to the Ten Tec Omni V overall.  Anyone have a
chance to compare these 2?

The QST review for the Yaesu FT990 the TS850, the
Yaesu FT990, the Omni V and the Icom 765 at the same
level.  I hear that the FT990 has a crucial part no
longer supported by Yaesu, and the Icom 765 seems to
go for more than these others, which is why I am
looking at either the Kenwood or Ten Tec.

I had a TS850 briefly in the past and loved it.  I
really like the fact that it has a built in memory
keyer, and voice keyer option, and is smaller than the
Onmi 5, but how do the 2 really compare
performancewise?
