[TenTec] JUNIPER (Jupiter) NEWS.

[Eddy Avila]

Generally, I have a lot of respect for TT's service department but I too 
have been on the receiving end of an RF in the shack lecture from TT's 
Paul....sometimes he's right, sometimes not -- my Kenwood ts690 has never 
been bothered by RF in the shack, but the Corsair II sure has!!! Same 
antennass, fed lines etc.......
