After selling almost all my ham gear in our downsizing move to a smaller house, 
I'm looking at getting
a small transceiver for casual use. I have been looking at the Kenwood 
TS570D(SG) and the Ten Tec
Jupiter as possible units. 

I would like any input on the Ten Tec Jupiter. I know there were several 
versions (grey w/green screen;
black w/blue screen) and I have read the product reviews in the ham magazines 
on the unit when it 
was released. But I don't know if there were any differences between the two 
versions produced or if
if was strictly "cosmetic"?

I have read the earlier Jupiter had an "unusual" keying note? Not sure what 
that means but I operate CW
mostly so this is of concern to me. I realize the Jupiter does not have the 
dynamics of Omni VII, but would 
like any info on how it performs (overloading) from strong nearby signals. And 
any opinions on the quality
of the selectivity, quality of audio, noise blanker/noise reduction features, 
etc. 

Thanks in advance for your input.

73, Phil-K4MPE
