Just thought I'd chime in to say that Chinese quality has come a long way, and has a long way to go. This is a general statement: in specific cases, the quality is exemplary. All economies fixate on
Just bought a lightly used blue screen Jupiter. I operate with an indoor dipole at up to 40 watts. With my Kenwood, anything higher than 40W made the transceiver go crazy. I have been using a 'floati
antenna. Certainly an indoor antenna is not the ideal and is far from the better configuration but often our circumstances dictate that as the only choice. The reduction in power to 40 watts seems to
Will do that, then. Do you know of any other mics that sound good with the Jupiter? PM To: tentec@contesting.com Subject: [TenTec] New Jupiter on its Way _ A Few Questions Will

Good cite. Here in the U.S., Pixel makes them with all the bells and whistles for about 500., but I'm not interested in them for that reason. I want a receiving antenna that can null out or reject al
