Tracy,
That's the way I took it Tracy, I thought it was just an exchange
of opinions and saw no intended flame on either side.
I have a fairly new Omni VI+ (just a little over 1 year old) so I
have no plans for a Jupiter. However, it sure looks like a lot of
radio for the money and if it's as good as the initial reports
indicate, I think Ten-Tec has a slam dunk!!
