I think the software upgrading is the best feature of the Jupiter. Ten-Tec
develops many more feature upgrades because it is a software radio than we
would receive if each upgrade required new hardware.
Since a software download is such a quick process, it's natural a few bugs
will make it out. But having to download a new software fix is not that big
a deal to me.
Keep the upgrades coming!!
