[TenTec] Jupiter AM Problem

[WmLB@prefer.net]

I thought I would try AM mode on my Jupiter (1.09 
firmware) for the first time this afternoon. I 
tuned to 29.000 and connected to my dummy load. I 
then hit the "Tune" button which is supposed to 
activate the AM-AUTO-SET function. I observed the 
power meter moving up and down between 0 and about 
75 watts for quite a while  (far beyond a few 
seconds). It never did return to "receive", as the 
manual suggests, until I pressed the "Tune" button 
a second time. I then changed to the 75M band 
(around 3880) and tried again. It almost 
immediately returns to receive mode.. so quickly I 
am not at all sure that it did what it was supposed 
to ..... in fact a quick mic check indicated that I 
was getting far more then 25 watts to the dummy 
load.  

 I am a fairly new Jupiter owner. I am hoping 
someone with a bit more experience with the rig can 
offer a comment or two.
