[TenTec] Is Jupiter better than the Icom 746

[Jeff Peacock]

I had RF problems with my Jupiter. I had 450 ohm ladder line coming into the
shack to the back ot the ten tec 238 tuner. Could not get my D104 mic to
work and my SWR/ Power meter was way out of wack until I moved the ladder
line out to the garage with a piece of coax back to the rig. Works perfect
now.
