[TenTec] Jupiter selectivity

[John Huffman]

I've had an Omni V and my other rig is a K2/100.  I tend to use the Pegasus most 
and on CW.

The filters at the narrow bandwidths are not steep.  The 300hz filter looks like 
it has about a 3 to 1 slope.  That said, the QSK on the Pegasus and the general 
noise in the receiver makes it easy to listen to.

I tend to both ragchew and DX and when the band is crowded I use an external 
audio filter to sharpen up the tight filters.  It is an audio filter so is still 
subject to the AGC limits of the radio.

90% of the time it's a great CW rig.  5% of the time the audio filter cleans 
things up.  For the last 5% you will be disappointed compared to the Omni V or 
better.
