In the official announcement from Dishtronix about its acquisition of
TenTec, reference was made to the impending release of updated firmware for
the TenTec Eagle and Omni 7 transceivers.

Those updates became available this week.

Its encouraging to see this come to pass. Though its terribly small in the
grand scheme of things, its important for the new owner to deliver on what
he said he was going to do. A promise made a promise kept.

The next step, according to his plan, is the resumption of production
beginning with the Omni 7+ which is the Omni 7 with some minor cosmetic
improvements. Following that, the plan is to release a new Super Eagle
bringing most of the DSP features of the Orion II to the lower cost
transceiver.

The new owner makes no guarantees when any of this will come to pass, but
the release of the firmware updates is a good sign and Im looking forward
to visiting with them in Dayton in a few months. And Id be surprised if the
NEW TenTec allowed that occasion to pass without offering something for
sale, old or new.
