Hmmm, well that is the same info I received when I questioned them 
regarding Firmware upgrades to the Jupiter and the RX-350. Frankly I 
don't consider either design refined enough but evidently Ten-Tec Sales 
does and decisions like these are generally sales driven. I traded away 
my Jupiter for the more functionally evolved Omni-VI+ and I will 
probably trade/sale my RX-350 in the near future. I'm done with SDR for 
now. Maybe I'll try them again in another five years or so.
