For those that don't want the ATU, receive the radio with the ATU, pull it
out, it's easy to do, and then sell it to someone that wants to install an
ATU in their previously purchased radio that didn't have an ATU.
For various reasons, I've installed or removed the ATU in both my Eagle and
Omni VII. There's only 4 or so screws and a couple of cables to unplug or
plug in depending on which way one is going. The radio will work just fine
with or without the ATU as defined in the MENU.
Dollar wise, every one wins.

Subject: Re: [TenTec] Mega Sale Pricing
Ok, so, for example, the Eagle 599AT, regular price $2193, is now $1399.
A $794 savings.
The Eagle 599 (w/o AT) price isn't currently shown, but if memory serves,
it was around $1995, right?
Thus, buying the 599AT right now will still save you $600 over the cost of
the 599, and you get an additional feature (the auto tuner) that you might
not need now, but might come in handy some day... or, for those concerned
about it, might enhance it's resale value down the road.
So exactly what is the gripe here?
I'm just a little sorry that the Auto Tuner Kit for the Omni VII, by
itself, isn't part of the Summer Sale. Or the 610 USB keyer/audio
interface. If it they been, and the price low enough, I might just have
picked one or both up -- that's the only things I wish my (used) O7 had,
as it would aid in some other things. Not worth getting worked up over,
though.
Sheesh.

Disappointing. The few hundred dollars difference might mean the
difference between a sale and no-sale. Why buy a tuner when you don't
want or need it? Sort of like the car power windows / PS / PB / etc.
options that use to be. The reduction of options is an unfortunate reality
in todays sales/marketing world.
