[TenTec] Jupiter vs Omni VI

Now this might start another discussion, but I installed an InRad CW  
roofing filter in my VI+.  I do not have the equipment to make actual  
measurements, but for CW, I believe this rig is at least equal to my  
Orion--let alone a Jupe.  InRad published specs on their web site  
which I took with a grain of salt at first, but the front end seems  
every bit as good as an Orion with its 600hz roofing filter.  Now I'm  
not really a contester and have limited antenna capabilities at this  
QTH so my standards are not going to be as high as many of you.    
But, if I could have the NR/NB/notch capabilities of v137x with the  
stability and other improvements of v2, well, then the Orion would  
have the prime place on the desk again.
