A local ham in my neck of the woods works for HRO and is a real good
salesman for YaeComWood gear - if it weren't for me there would be no
mention of Ten-Tec unfortunately.

Some of these guys continue to rave on about old Kenwood stuff despite the
better offerings available.  Never ceases to amaze me.


On the other hand...  One thing that I've heard a number of times is the
inability to monitor audio output through headphones.  Yes, I can hear the
mic preamp but the Jupiter does not provide a means to listen to the
post-processing stage as it is pushed out the antenna - this is a serious
problem to 99% of the sideband users I talk to.  Makes it a bit difficult
to adjust speech processing levels...
