Thank you John. It is just too much to read and understand all that is said at
one time without that clarification. {:)

Firmware update instructions and information for older Jupiter transceivers to
be able take advantage of the new items will also be added after we return from
Dayton. Thank you from Ten-Tec! It is a fermware upgrade All you have to do is
flash up grade any older Jupiter.

I''m surprised they're not changing the model# also. Although the majority of
the changes are cosmetic, the morse reader is kind of a blockbuster that is
sure to attract a whole new market. The first question a potential buyer of a
used Jupiter is going to be "Does it have the code reader in it?".
It will probably drop the price of the older used ones also. Is there a chance
the older ones could be retro-fitted with the reader?
