[TenTec] Best Ten-Tec bang for the buck?

[Nathan Moreschi]

Jerry,

For $800, you have several options. If you are into SWL stuff, you'll 
probably want a rig with general coverage receive ability (Pegasus and 
Paragon I come to mind). If you are not interested in SWL stuff, I would go 
for an OMNI V with the V.9 N4PY chip. If you wait long enough, you may be 
able to find a deal in that range for an OMNI VI. With and OMNI V you could 
probably get something for around $600 with an extra filter or two. You 
could use the extra money left over to buy a power supply and an automatic 
antenna tuner. The OMNI V or OMNI VI will give you a fine rig for chasing DX 
and contesting.

73,

Nate/N4YDU

Well a Pegasus is pretty much the same animal, for less than your budget.
I'm not sure you'd find a Jupiter for your budget.  At least to me it's not
worth $500 or so for the buttons, but that's me.

Pegasus over the Jupiter?
