Jim:
The 756/756 pro has much better sensitivty and much better 
strong/adjacent signal handling capability. Depending on your operating 
style and preferences the ICOMs are a much better bang for the buck. 
IMHO they blow away the Jupiter. You might get the pitch from Ten Tec 
users about service but I've never had problems with ICOM service.
