I might as well jump into this pool.
If I remember correctly, what was given to us from TT was a
development list containing a list of possible options. It was also
stated that the first of this list, essentially Ver 1.29 plus keyboard
support and cw decode was being gone over for issues. The next follow
on was to be support for the new screen for existing Jupiters (raise
hand...Me...ME Please call on ME).
I haven't seen anything that says that they will not release the first
feature set if they are that close to releasing the new (Black)Jupiter.
They apparently have cw decode on display. It is reasonable to guess
that what they refer to as being delayed .... is development of the
other features mentioned as possible, PSK support etc.
I don't know// I think that TT doing bread and butter work is in our
best interests as well.
So that's my 2 (maybe 3 1/2) cents of this issue. Settle down and let
them do what they have to do and we will be rewarded by improvement in a
great little transceiver.
73 and Good evening

I talked to the sales manager at TenTec, and there are no immediate plans to
finish the development of the new firmware for Jupiter nor the new card for
the Orion II. They are focusing on a new radio for the military and that
has tied up most of the assets at this time. Maybe by early next year.
