Thanks Carl. It makes sense. When the Jupiter does it's own scan, it's much faster. 2 questions:

Does the agc not affect the Jupe in standalone mode scanning?

Could a firmware change take care of this?

Steve,

I experimented with this a lot in developing the software.  The limiting
factor is the speed of the AGC. If I run the sweep faster, the AGC does not change quickly enough to give any decent resolution. The program has a loop
that goes ike this:

1) Set a frequency
2) read S meter
3) plot a point on the graph
4) Go to step 1

If you do this too fast, the returned S meter reading does not change enough
from the previous reading for good resolution.  I hope this explanation is
clear.

73,

What limits the speed of the Peg/Jup's band scope? When I used the
Jupiter's bandscope it was fairly fast but when using it in Peg mode, it is
really s l o wwww.
Is this the fault of the rig, firmware, comm port, pc processor, software
(N4PY) or what?
I want the sucker to really fly but I want to see it on the computer, not
the Jupe's little green display. What would it take? Has anyone found
anything that makes a difference?
