Dave, I also find the K3 subrx delay a real bummer that may impact my purchase timing.
But as far as your proposition that "The Ten Tec Omni VII . . . may be a worthy and fully developed competitor", are you REALLY buying that? I guess worthiness (not to mention "fully developed") totally depends on the context of comparison and how quickly you're apt to butt up against the radio's limitations. In tough band condx, I don't think it would be much of a comparison. 73, Barry N1EU David and Dianne on Comcast wrote: > > Hi Everyone, > > The delay of the second receiver option is to me both highly regrettable > and somewhat deceptive. > > I, for one, based my purchase decision greatly on this option being > ready for prime time which is obviously was not and apparently will not > be any time soon.
