I'd opt for a much newer radio, one with newer technology and much improved
performance in both cases. The Eagle with the optional noise blanker and
ATU will greatly out perform any of those you have referenced. Review the
Sherwood Engineering report on receiver performance for the models of
concern.
I suggest you study the ARRL Product reviews, the RSGB Product reviews along
with other published data. Postings on popular "ham sites" carry very
little intrinsic value in my opinion.

Subject: [TenTec] Jupiter Questions
After selling almost all my ham gear in our downsizing move to a smaller
house, I'm looking at getting
a small transceiver for casual use. I have been looking at the Kenwood
TS570D(SG) and the Ten Tec
Jupiter as possible units.
I would like any input on the Ten Tec Jupiter. I know there were several
versions (grey w/green screen;
black w/blue screen) and I have read the product reviews in the ham
magazines on the unit when it
was released. But I don't know if there were any differences between the two
versions produced or if
if was strictly "cosmetic"?
I have read the earlier Jupiter had an "unusual" keying note? Not sure what
that means but I operate CW
mostly so this is of concern to me. I realize the Jupiter does not have the
dynamics of Omni VII, but would
like any info on how it performs (overloading) from strong nearby signals.
And any opinions on the quality
of the selectivity, quality of audio, noise blanker/noise reduction
features, etc.
Thanks in advance for your input.
73, Phil-K4MPE
