Here's an elegant solution to the cable management problem, James. You
can share your Centurion, microphone, key/keyer, speaker, etc., between
the Jupiter, Omni VII and Orion II:

Interesting observations, George, and my own estimation of this group
is one reason, among many others, why I purchased the Orion II and not
another rig. I don't mind doing homework, and appreciate when
someone points me to a good source of information.
Boy. It sure looks good with my Omni VII !
I have been through the user manual twice, and I am still getting up
to speed. It is a fascination how different my Jupiter, Omni VII, and
Orion II are from each other. There are a few similarities, but
many differences. It appears the engineers were free to design each
rig independently, and not just a larger version of another model.
That is MY initial take, anyway.
I sure appreciate all the comments - I will
be going on air later tonight once I get all
three rigs back on the desk and plugged in.
MAN I HAVE A LOT OF CABLES BEHIND THE SCENES!

When I bought my new ORION ll several years ago it nearly went back
the next day. My son also a ham came over to see it. I was in my
den when he came in and said "you are nuts this is one hell of a
radio, play with it". I did and it is one hell of a radio. And
here it sits next to my OMNI 7 and Eagle. Also next to the TTs sit
2K3s and a KX3.
Enjoy it. I am member of both the Ten Tec and Elecraft sites. There
seems to be a difference. The Elecrafters seem to ask many questions
which they could figure the answers or heavens forbid read the
manual, while Ten Tec guys seem to figure out things themselves or if
they have a question it is a tough one
