Re: [TenTec] Jupiter vs Omni VI

Paul said "I think that the Jupiter has the best receieve audio of any radio 
that I have used on SSB. "
I agree with that. I think its one of th best rag chewing radios ever. You 
can listen to it for hours without fatigue. And personally, I think that 
same smooth audio carries across on transmit as well. The Jupiter might not 
stack up against the Omni VI in a contest, but I have friends with both 
radios and also a FT1000mp and I would much rather listen to them on their 
Pegasus/Jupiter than the Omni VI or MP.
I have had two Pegs. Ten Tec did a great thing with the DSP/Filter setup.
