Version 1.42 of my Pegasus (and Jupiter) program is now
available.  Some of the features in this version that were not
in version 1.41 are:
  1)
  Added the ability to run the RX-320 concurrently with the Pegasus
  from just this program.  This features allows the RX-320 to follow
  the VFO B setting without running a separate RX-320 program.

  This feature also allows the use of thr RX-320 for frequency sweeps
  while the Pegasus receiver is free to listen on another frequency.

  2)
  Two Different RTTY modes.  This allows you to define both RTTY
  and PSK31.

  3)
  You can now define your license class and have your transmit
  privileges displayed on the frequency scale.

  4)
  A new selection for spectrum sweep has been added called "MaxHold".
  When this is selected, and only signals that are stronger that what
  is already displyed at that location will be changed.  This allows
  the presence of string signals that come and go to remain on the
  sweep screen.

  5)
  The "Alc" display value has been changed from a relative value of
  0 to 255 to display approximate watts output.

  6)
  When the "FWD" power display meter is used, in addition to the
  forward power being displayed as digits, the reflected power is
  also displayed as digits just to the right of forward power.
  This allows both forward and reflected power to be displayed
  when transmitting with "FWD" selected.

  7)
  Made the local time and UTC time display characters larger.
  The local time is now displayed in 12 hour format with UTC
  displayed in 24 hour format.  You now have the ability to
  configure the colors for the local time display and UTC time
  display.

  8)
  If you have defined your remote pod keys to used used with
  "DX SPLIT", the action of the "E" key is different with an
  RX-320 directly attached.  In this mode the "E" key becomes
  a "DUAL" key instead of a reverse key.

  9)
  The keyer speed sliders have been changed.  The keyer speed slider
  on the CW settings panel is now a coarse adjustment.  It has a range
  of 40 wpm.  The KS slider on the front panel is a fine adjustment.
  It has a range of 15 wpm.  The intended use is for you to set the
  speed on the CW panel one time to set the general range you want.
  When you do this, you should first set the front panel in the middle
  and then use the CW panel setting to get the middle of the range you
  want. You then use the KS slider on the front panel as a fine adjustment
  of 15 wpm of the coarse range set from the CW panel.  This allows
  the setting of keyer speed to not be touchy.  In addition, if the
  keyer is enabled, the keyer speed is digitally displayed above the
  keyer slider on the front panel.  Also, the keyer weight algorithm
  has been adjusted to work better.  The normal position for the keyer
  weight control is in the middle.

I am currently working on Version 1.43.  It will be ready about January 1
and already has 13 new functions.
