Betreff: Re: [TenTec] Why is the Jupiter better?
I don'tknow aobut the jupiter but the receiver in my omni6+ has a way better
s/n radio because of a superior dsp than the 746 does. I can hear weak
signals far better on the onmi6+ and the noise level is so much lower it is
more pleasent to listen to the tem tec. I sold my Icam abnd bought 2 ts-b
2000s insted so I could have a high power do all mobile and a rig to work am
at the house. the Kenwood is still no where as good as the Omni6+ for a
receiver either!!!
