Hi Richard,

I almost get the feeling that kenwood are no longer placing 
themselves in the top end of the hf market.  When you think that the 
last one was the ts-950sdx which has been gone a good 10 years now.

Perhaps they think the research and development costs are too high?  
Although yaesu seem to be launching a lot of stuff at the moment.

Not sure about the jupiter but I had an omni series some years ago 
which was one of the best receivers I have ever used.
