I used an Icom IC701 from 1978 thru 2006. A decent radio for its time.
I replaced it with an IC 756 PRO III (Dec 2006) and the new radio blew
the IC701 out of the water. In my opinion the PRO III is a superb
radio. When looking for a new radio I was told to stay away from the
Jupiter. I'm glad I did, but for the price I suspect it is OK. I heard
good things about the IC746, but I wanted more than just a replacement
radio for my IC701. I am not disappointed. In every way, I love he PRO
III. It is, however, more expensive than the IC746, about twice the
price. Ouch. But, I would do it again. Good luck. I just completed
the Elecraft K1 and like it very much also.

Now that I've been using my K2 serial # 5719 for a while, I am a bit
disappointed in my Ten-Tec Jupiter, particularly when there are strong CW
signals on adjacent frequencies. I was always a Ten-Tec fan and loved my
Corsair II, but wanted to try a newer design radio. Now, I'm thinking of
selling or trading the Jupiter, but I wonder what's out there in the $1200 to
$1500 range (new or used) that might be a step up from the Jupiter in receiver
performance. Without opening up a can of worms, I'd like to hear some feedback
on the IC 746 Pro, Ten-Tec Omni VI, TS-2000 or any others I may have
over-looked. What else are you guys using?
Thanks for this great resource. It's been a great help in getting to know my K2.
