I've got an Omni C and Jupiter -   love them both.....  Jupiter seems 
to have just bit more noise in back ground as I receive, not much, but 
a bit.
Jupiter much more touchy about RF//grounding issues on ssb,   I'm 
still working on that...   so haven't done much ssb....
they're close on background noise, I like the filtering better in 
Jupiter.   still, happy with both...
