Absolutely NOT! I only advocated a legal scientific operations test, which is what The BPL companies have failed to DO! ARRL has asked for hams to collect information on RFI they suffer/ create in n
Does anyone know if there is a way to get a tighter filter for the Jupiter? I find myself trying to squeeze the bandwidth filter tighter than 300Hz. There are times I wish I had 100Hz! :-) 73 Jason N
Thanks to all who replied. I would ultimately prefer to see the firmware modified slightly to further narrow the bandwidth instead of a post-AF stage filter. It seems, using MixW to analyze the outpu
Is the TenTec Model 706 important for the Jupiter to shine or would most any mic sound OK? The 706 is perfect match - crisp and clean audio. 73 Jason N1SU
The fan would be useful if you plan to operate at 20W continuous. I found that the heat sinks get warm when I get very long winded on PSK or MFSK. I don't have the model 310 fan (I wish I did though)
Subscription-based access to internet websites is always a failure unless you have cornered the market on a very specific offering. I work for a company that wrestles with this subject, with great pa
That wouldn't be too hard. I built something kinda like that on a lark in a couple days. http://dining.digistar.com/ I don't feel too comfortable trying to replicate eham's reviews site because they
Has anyone out there any experience running AM on the Jupiter? I pressed the TUNE button while in AM mode but didn't see anything change as I expected - AM drive, mic gain, etc all stay the same valu
I've seen these before - to me it looks like I have to change AM-DRIVE to 25 watts or less and adjust the mic gain so that the ALC light only comes on during voice peaks. But what I do not understand
Doesn't look like it. It does have a slot for a compact flash card, but this is for transferring settings I think. I have not seen anything about updates that way. Given that this radio is very likel
Well, I thought I was doing myself a favor using a studio-grade speaker on my Jupiter but i'm finding I like the internal speaker a lot better, at least for CW work. For phone operation i'm undecided
Hmmm... So is a halfwavelength dipole a preferable antenna than a endfed halfwave for a given band? How does an endfed fullwave or 3/2 wave antenna compare to 1/2 wave endfed vs dipole? 73 Jason N1SU
My experiences with picking up the phone and calling Ten-Tec has been as good as it gets. Email is fine but it's as weak as the excuse "the dog ate my homework" - if you've got something to say, use
On the other had a 3/2 wave END fed monopole has the same drawback as a 1/2 or 2/2 wave end fed monopole. The feedpoint impedance is outta sight! Thanks Pete and Sinisa... I was just trying to get an
I definitely agree with Sinisa. I have tried direct feeding an antenna, starting with the antenna terminial on an ARC5 around 1948 or '49, and never had much luck with it. Except at picking up a rema
Excellent. Would that same .28 wavelength value carry for all bands or specific to a single band? Yes, the same 0.28 wavelength value carries over for all bands. That's a number that I "eye-balled"
Auto Sweep is on - hit MNU and scroll to find AUTO SWEEP and turn it off. I have mine set for 120 wide so I can turn a fair bit but it's all preference. 73 Jason N1SU
The N9VV website ( www.N9VV.com ) mentions a mod to the Jupiter ALC circuit that is apparently approved by the factory. It involves replacing the 4.7 mF C107 with 2.2 mF. The website says that witho
