It sounds like the new Owner of TEN-TEC is pricing himself right
out of the Amateur Radio market with this over priced Omni VII+.
This is just my opinion after personally knowing the former
Owner of TEN-TEC Jack Burchfield K4JU and past President of
TEN-TEC Jim Wharton NO4A.

Subject: [TenTec] Omni VII Plus at Hamvention!
TenTec video highlights the new owner of the company.
I really like his OMNI 7+ idea and as a CW operator would absolutely love
to have one.
It would be an uphill climb competing against $1K IC7300, even though the
basic operation on CW seems to be noticeably better. However with a
roughly $2800 price, comparison would be versus IC7610.
As an IC7300 owner, I would pay $1500 for a new OMNI VII+ and would like a
2+ year no questions asked warranty.
I know - dream on!

A birdie told me that Mike is showing the new Omni VII Plus at Hamvention.
Street price is $2999 according to rumor. Radio was said to be in
production.
That might be a bit high compared to imports, but it is probably a fact of
life for manufacturing costs in the US.
I give Mike credit for making something happen, it is a start and I'd love
to see an upgraded Orion offered one of these days.
