The W8BI Hamvention station used TenTec OMNI 7s this year and I had a chance to use one after we got the antenna set up.
VERY NICE RADIO! Nice big LCD screen and easy to use. Not alot of hidden menus to try and figure out. U can almost turn it on and use it without having to carefully read the manual.
That said, It performed up to par with other rigs I have used. Would I trade my FT5K for one?
SORRY! I will keep the FT5K. But the Omni does seem better than an Icom 718!
To each their own Pat. Having used an FT5000... I wouldn't trade even up for an Omni VII either. I'd sell the FT5K, buy an O7, and pocket the difference (or more likely, invest it in filters, accessories, coax, and antennas)
And I'll keep the Omni VI+, too.

What's that restaurant you like to go to?
Hmm? In reference to my current avatar perhaps? I change mine frequently, for the lulz. It's actually to poke fun at a recent forum "drive-by". Probably time to change it again.
In real life, the best restaurant I've been to in years is the Daffodil Mediterranean, in Lincoln NE. Wandered in, was amazed.

I admit it... I miss White Castle.

I never did understand the cult of White Castle (and, yes, I have eaten them). Give me In 'n' Out Burger any day of the week.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Yea well... Open 24 hours, as an ex cabbie... those sliders were gooooooood!
