I do not have the new memory chip in my Jupiter. I installed the PLD update
and then installed version 1.30. It does not have the CW keyboard feature
or CW decoder in it. I thought I could load 1.30 to get the CW keyboard and
decoder and lose AM and FM, and then go back to 1.29 if I wanted AM and FM.
But both versions have AM and FM and no CW keyboard or decoder. Has anybody
been successful getting the CW decoder and keyboard working without getting
the new memory chip? What am I missing?

Subject: [TenTec] Successful Upgrade of Old Jupiter
Hi,
I finished the upgrade of my 2001 Jupiter today with no problems.? The PLD
change went smoothly and then the new chip from Ten Tec went in easily.? I
found the instructions clear and accurate.
Above a certain S-level, the decoder works well.? The only glitch this
weekend was the RTTY contest, which would have been tough to handle on CW
in any case.
Anyway, I am satisfied very much with the upgrade.?
I am saving money for a new OMNI VII or a used original Orion.? Don't know
which is the better buy, but I'm sure people on this board have an opinion
and I'd be interesting in knowing your views.
Could not make it to the Ten Tec Hamfest this weekend due to lots of rain
here in North Carolina and a tight work schedule.? Next year again, for
sure when I pick up that new OMNI VII.
73s,
Rick
