My experience with the Jupe on FD was not too good as far as receiving in a
multiple transmitter enviroment. I would stay with the K2. Another solution ,
though not too popular, would be to have each operator supply his own rig. That
would eliminate the learning phase for operators on new SDR rigs. YMMV
