[TenTec] Jupiter

[d.e.warnick at comcast.net]

My Omni VII isa the first TT radio that i've bought that was still in production when I made the purchase, and I've had about 2 dozen of them. Never had a new one either. No problem if they're done making them. Performance is outstanding and support matches it.

Rip:  I have also bought a used 563 rev 3 and used it for some time and it is a 
good radio. 
I also bought a used Jupiter and did the blue screen uodate.  I like the 538 and 
it does a 
really good job.  I sometimes check into the Tenn phone net and have a good 
chuckle 
when the net control keeps talking about the guys up 2 that are really QRMing 
him.  Oh, 
I do not hear them too much on the Jupiter!  The NECOS says he dosen't like 
TenTec. 

Too bad!  A friend close by has an Orion ll   and traded up from the earlier 
one.  He 
likes the radio and doubt that he would consider anything else. 

Hope all this helps you decide which way to go.

Thanks George (W6GF), that is just the feedback 
that I am looking for. I appreciate your comment 
on the Eagle; sounds like you either own or tried 
them all. I did not bring up the Eagle because 
I have an K-1 and was trying to avoid the 
ergonomics of small radios. Maybe I will give 
it some more thought. Larry (W8ER), I appreciate 
the comment on used TTs. I currently have an 
Omni VI 563 and a Triton 540; both were bought 
used. I have always bought used and I would 
like to try new before I fully retire from 
the workforce. Carl (N4PY), I appreciate the 
comment on the Omni VII; I am really considering 
it but need to justify the extra $1K in cost. 
Thanks all; it seems like the Jupiter has been 
around for a while. I hate to buy a TT rig only 
to have them stop production. Who knows? 
TU and 73s Rip  W7RIP
