I have worked only two Jupiters on the air to this point and both had
a slight raspiness sound to them. This was discussed a while back on
the reflector and is apparently due to the fact that the CW note is
DSP-produced. I found it mostly curious rather than objectionable.
Still prefer analog Tentec gear though.
