Re: [TenTec] Successful Upgrade of Old Jupiter

[<n4py@arrl.net>]

The 538v1300.ruf file is for Jupiters that have the extra memory and it has 
both personalities in it.  The 538cwv1010.ruf file is the CW personality for 
Jupiters that have the old memory chip like mine.  But the update program 
will not load 538cwv1010.ruf in my Jupiter for some unknown reason.
