Well you don't have to buy a newer Ten Tec rig to get a great contest radio.
It was just the Jupiter/Pegasus series that had the weaker front ends. You
can use Corsair I or II, or the Omni V series, or the Omni VI series. No
need to go to the Orion to get a great contest rig. Go to the Orion if you
want the Best contest rig ! :)
