[TenTec] New or Used Decision; Omni VII

[Roger Rippy <svtincup@yahoo.com>]

It has been a while since I wrote a note to this board, but
I am doing the research needed to make a buying decision
on a new rig. My current station has a Ten Tec Omni VI
opt 1 along with other rigs such as a TT Triton IV that I
use on occassion (usually an SKCC event). At this point in 
time, I am considering the TT Omni VII; the question is 
whether the cost of a new one vs a used one (serial number
C10477 - left out number in front of C). Are there any 
significant improvements in this rig other than firmware
upgrades? I will probably call TT sales, but thought you 
guys would have an opinion about that. I use my station 
mostly for cw activity. 73s Rip   W7RIP Bozeman, MT
