I'm told that I sound acceptable for a non-boatachor using the Omni VII. I believe the audio is adjustable on the O7 using the AM mode, but I haven't tried real hard to improve my audio any. Since

Bry, Your reference to the ergonomics of the Omni VII front panel - what is your concern? Just a curiosity question on my part. It did take me a few hours to get use to it, but I see where even on th

I'd say so... but that's not the case for my AL-80a since it only has one 3-500z in it. The drive requirement varies some for me... and I was just sharing a ballpark figure. I watch the meters very c
