Well George & Steve, you have got me thinking about that Eagle. It would be nice to try one out, who knows. I just watched some You Tube presentations on the both the Eagle and the newer Jupiter; they both have their strong points. I like to operate CW (although I may occasionally plug in the microphone)and my initial thoughts were that the new Jupiter is better suited for CW and the Eagle for phone; but watching the videos has changed that perspective to some degree. The cw decoder would be a nice feature for those times when I cannot wrap my brain around 25+ wpm; especially after a tough day at work. Oh well, they are both in the same price range; my initial concern is that the Jupiter has been around for about 10 years and Ten Tec seems to change up models with some predictability. I plan to keep the Omni VI and the Triton just as long as I can keep them working, but I would like a new pre-retirement radio going forward. Thanks again for the Eagle
perspective. 73s Rip W7RIP
