Hi Anthony,
This would be difficult to do since the K3 has not hit the
streets yet.
While the VII has an ethernet port for remote control, the
K3 will have an extensive array of remote capabilities
built into its updatable firmware.
The K3 receiver specs should be vastly better than the
VII, though official specs have not yet been released as
final testing is not done yet.
The K3 has full dual RX with both receivers being of the
same quality / architecture. Not an inferior sub receiver
as employed by some other dual rx radios.
K3 has digital mode encode and decode ability without the
need of an external computer. You can even send RTTY and
PSK using your CW key!
K3 has more choices of roofing filters and allows you to
include only those accessories you want...saving you $$ on
what you don't want.
Due to the K3 modular design, in most cases if something
were to go wrong and could be pinpointed to a specific
board, you would likely only need to send that board in
for repair/replacement. No need to send the entire radio
risking shipping damage.
I could go on and on but I think you get the idea. My
best recommendation would be to go to the Elecraft website
and review the FAQ and the spec sheet and compare that
with what is available for the Omni VII. Then choose what
is best for you.
73 and good luck,
Greg

I am a long time Ten Tec user interested in upgrading.
I have never
used a piece of Elecraft equipment but am very intrigued
by the K3.
Are there any Elecraft users who can give me some advice
about what I
may expect from the K3 vs the OMNI VII since they are
both near the
same price?
Thanks,
Anthony
