> This fellow runs multiple radios at the same time for 2 mtrs,

> He bought the Jupiter with the outboard LDG tuner from Ten-Tec.
> Once home he noticed that the pair was generating broad-spectrum hash
> that was interfering with his other operations. Part of the hash was
> coming from the LDG tuner, but even with that disconnected, the Jupiter
> was contributing a large share of the problem. It interfered with his

> He claims that the Jupiter is radiating RF hash over a broad spectrum
> directly from its LCD panel. Also, that the Jupiter's weak signal
> sensitivity was lower than his other rigs. He stated that repeated
> calls to Ten-Tec's service dept didn't help and he finally returned
> the rig for a refund. He's extremely disgruntled and feels that Ten-Tec
> has released the Jupiter without proper testing. This fellow is extremely
> competent technically and I have no reason to doubt him.
>
> Have any others run into this?
> Typical experience or did he just get a lemon?
