<p>I have no idea how many people have built one. You could always check with Fred, but he paid an awful lot for it! I spent a year or more building it, and it was interesting, but I would not want one.</p>

<p>Do you know how many Sienna's were made? Maybe Fred would like to sell his?</p>

<p>When Fred's Omni-VII returned from the factory, he went back to using it. I am not aware of any CW ops using the Sienna.</p>

<p>Sort of.... My recollection from, what is it, 4 years ago now, is that it has a separate "vfo" (DDS I suppose) for TX and RX so the frequency does not need to be shifted back and forth.</p>

<p>I had very little hope for the rig when I finished construction and testing and sent it to DZ for Brian to make improvements. He kept it for close to a year I think before Fred finally received it. So neither of us was inclined for Fred to really give it a workout. So after a brief qso with it a few years ago it has been on the shelf.</p>
<p>Recently his Omni-VII developed an intermittent problem and he finally shipped it to TN. He tried his Omni-VI first but we had problems with keying quality so he finally bit the bullet and hooked up the Sienna.</p>
<p>It is a bit strange to operate, but at least he is finding it to work well for QRQ / QSK so this is a good thing (that his money and my time were not a complete waste after all). It will be interesting when the Omni-VII returns from it's vacation in TN to see if Fred continues using the Sienna or immediately puts it back on the shelf.</p>
<p>For me, after having the seamless integration of the K3-KPA500-KAT500 I am way too spoiled to use anything else :)</p> It sounds good to me as well.…tag:qrqcwnet.ning.com,2015-08-06:1993813:Comment:230272015-08-06T14:28:53.349ZJoehttps://qrqcwnet.ning.com/profile/Joe
<p>It sounds good to me as well. Doesn't the Senna use a separate transmitter and receiver rather than a typical transceiver design? I would guess separating the receiver from the transmitter would make for better QSK with less shared circuitry to switch back and forth.</p>
