Hello All, One more time: I realize that some Orion and Jupiter owners are not having RFI problems. Good! For those of you out there that are, I would like to recommend the following: 1. Purchase a T
The unit you may want to purchase is the MFJ 1040B. This is an inline unit and will work fine. Or, you can turn up the IF Gain control pot and adjust the receiver sensitivity using the RF gain contro
The only rig I know of that offers true transmit audio monitoring is the Kenwood TS-870. 73 John / N0KHQ / St. Louis Always on 17M Antennas: You can build 'em better than you can buy 'em. Visit: http
TT sets the IF Gain on the Jupiter to 50millivolts at a S9 on the meter. Increasing the IF Gain on the Jupiter increases the receiver sensitivity by about 20db. Control of the increased IF is accompl
Way to go Dudley. Where the mod really shines is on 75m. I just turn the RF Gain down to about 75% - 78% and the noise disappears, and the received audio is still loud. I'm not sure what's going on i
Feed the loop with 450ohm ladder to a point that is close to entering your home, install a 4:1 current balun B4-2KX from Radio Works ($59), then coax (8' or more) to the tuner. The length of the 450o
Hi Dave, I'll take (2) springs. In addition to the spring, what kind of cord did you use to complete the installation. That elastic cord that TT used was a bad idea. My mailing address is good on QRZ
Mark, Please keep me informed of your progress with the SDR-1000. Sounds like a very good project to get into. Thanks. 73 John / N0KHQ / St. Louis Always on 17M Antennas: You can build 'em better tha

I have an excellent (9 out of 10) 238 for sale, but it will not be available for a couple of weeks. I'll take $300 + shipping to your address. The bulbs are burnt out and the tuning cord snapped. I a
I don't see TT discontinuing the Jupiter. Its as solid as a rock and a best seller. What I see is a Jupiter ll using the new Texas Instruments DSP chip.....the clock speed is 225mhz. I hope they make
Hello All, Your dicussing something that I know a little bit about so heres my $0.02. The Sterba Cutain was developed and designed by E. J. Sterba during his employment with Bell Labs in the 1930's.
Your best bet is to call Gary at TT. I am not familiar with the Peg. BUT The mod is for real. Remove the 4.7mf / 50v polarized cap and replace with a 2.2mf /50v polarized cap. This mod allows the ALC

For those of you that are interested. Aux. DSP units may be used with the addition of an isolation transformer. Mark (N8ME) suggested using RS transformer 32-1031B, these units are no longer availabl
This is only my opinion. I own the 756 Proll and the Jupiter (2yrs now). In continuous side by side comparisons, the Jupiter out performs the receiver on the Proll. By that I mean that the receiver o
What I'm going to say here is not supported nor endorsed by TT. The Jupiter has the capability to put out way more than a 100 watts of RF. Many of us Jupiter owners have increased the power output so
The Jupiter does not have a Real Time Sweep Display. It just takes a snapshot of current conditions. 73 John / N0KHQ / St. Louis Always on 18.130 Antennas: You can build 'em better than you can buy '
I recommend the "Hear It" Inline Module as sold by Gap Antennas because after all we are talking about the signal to noise ratio. Cost $200.00. Frequency response is 40hz to 4200hz. Clear Speech or T
