The only thing Ten Tec buys you when comparing the 2 radios is service.
Plus, 30 day trial. Send it back if you don't like it.
A transmitter that probably won't fail. I'd say it's a crap shoot with
the Icom (check eham.net).

Subject: [TenTec] Why is the Jupiter better?
I can get an Icom IC-746 Pro for $1300 including power supply and
microphone. It looks like it has the same features as the Jupiter plus I
get 6M and 2M. A Jupiter will cost me almost $1700 if I get the external
fan and some sort of tuner (internal or external) and power supply. The
microphone is free for awhile.
I want to support Ten-Tec as it is an American company and I grew up with
Knight-Kits and Heathkits, but is the Jupiter that superior to other rigs in
its class?
