[TenTec] Flash Updates

[William Mansey; WA2PVK]

I certainly am VERY pleased with Ten-Tec and their continuing efforts to update the firmware for rigs that we have paid for in full.  Meaning that if they were like the "other" companies - they would be spending time working on a new RADIO rather than "worrying" about what has already been sold!  Ten-Tec obviously cares about "us" and we should keep this fact in mind - especially when expressing displeasure.  Please do not misunderstand me.  I am NOT saying that we can not express displeasure JUST that we should think about what we are saying before we hit "send".  
    I am very pleased with my Jupiter and the fact that I can update the rig with new features as they are released.  The "bugs" are but a minor inconvenience as one can always go back to a previous version until the pest control guys have a chance to fumigate the newer version.  
    There is one firmware update that I am very much looking forward to - - - The one that increases the physical volume, and changes the color, of my Jupiter.  This update also changes the name on the front panel to "ORION"    :-)
    This is all just my humble opinion.  I have had various Yaecomwoods and did NOT like the feeling I got when I opened the newest "QST" and saw a new model coming out AND noticed that "my" rig now cost $250.00 less than I recently paid for it!  
    Thanks Ten-Tec!   Good Night and 73 to all;  Bill
