It is an amazing radio. Wait until you hook it up for digital work. You
can watch on the waterfall as you turn the bandwidth knob and watch the
waterfall become smaller and smaller and easily eliminate adjacent signals.
BTW, with digital, the cable that came with the radio did not work for me as
I had a ground loop. I would suggest that you isolate the rig from computer
(audio that is) with isolation transformers or use and interface box like
you'll find at Donner's Digital Interfaces.

Oh boy - you can't even imagine how happy I am. I brought it home from
work, got it wired in and have been sitting in front of it since I got home.
I am totally ASTOUNDED at how well this thing works. I don't see how it
could be any better with the exception of adding a few more knobs (I
guess that's one of the Orion's main features, more knobs?) for
accessing some of the menu items but i'm totally impressed with the
Jupiter. The manual is very nice also.
I think the first thing that amazed me was how well the DSP works - I
leaped right into the 40 meter CW band amid a fair amount of activity
and was able to tune whatever station I wanted with incredible ease.
The passband is equally wonderful.
Also, I want to thank you for your advice you sent to me earlier - your
description of the Jupiter's powerful features was spot on.
I can't believe I even entertained the idea of a Yaesu or Kenwood.
I should receive the StudioOne mic this Friday - looking forward to
trying out the SSB side of things!
After reading some of the reviews on eHam and list archives I was a
little nervous about the packing and the VFO knob but those problems
have definitely been ironed out, same for the front panel noise it
appears. Someone at TenTec must have been reading those complaints
because the things people griped about seem to have been addressed and
resolved.
very best regards,
