[TenTec] .....Very good, but it doesn't do MARS

[al sirois]

I spoke to the factory yesterday to see if the MARS chip in the Jupiter 
Is interchangeable with the Eagle.
I was going to trade in one of my Jupiters and upgrade to the Eagle; but I
was disappointed. TenTec will not be going in this direction.

There was talk of that two years ago.  CAP now requires it, since a
lot of their folks know nothing about radio adjustment. And maybe
Army MARS was thinking of it, but the talk has died down...Nothing
mentioned in the past year.  Navy/Marine Corps MARS was not promoting it.
