[TenTec] OMNI VI vs. Jupiter

[Dave Edwards]

A Jupiter owner may not agree, but I would not let an Omni go for a 
Jupiter...ever!
I did let my Omni V go to get an Omni VI+
I would not let the Omni VI+ go for any other rig. Not even an Orion.
I'm sure the Orion is better in all aspects, but at the moment...it does not 
agree with me. I prefer to turn it on and tune and operate. I don't care to 
experiment for hours to determine what the latest upgrade has fixed or 
ruined, or if a master reset will fix a noise blanker problem or if 
something works on the A receiver but not the B.etc. etc. etc.
.....Dave
