Re: [TenTec] TenTec Digest, Vol 209, Issue 7

    I have the green screen Jupiter (firmware v.1.33) and I use it 
every day. The screen is easy to read. I think the green version might 
be the easiest to see and green is easy on the eyes. Contrast is 
adjustable in the menu. The filtering and noise reduction are very 
effective. The only thing that can be hard to read (on both Jupiter and 
Omni VII) is the S meter. Setting AGC to slow helps some. Ham Radio 
Deluxe works well with it and has an easy to read S meter as well as a 
very large display. You can also control the radio with that (and other) 
software. I have the last free version but it's getting harder to find 
online. Jupiter is my favorite radio. I also have a Corsair II.
