[TenTec] Jupiter vs Pegasus

[Mark Erbaugh]

After using a Pegasus for almost two years, I have my first opportunity to play with a Jupiter. A friend brought his Jupiter over to my house to have me update the firmware ( he does my plumbing, I'm his computer guy ). Fortunately, he had to leave before I could get everything set up, so I'll have the Jupiter till he comes back next week to do some plumbing.

I know that with the N4PY software, it is possible to get the Pegasus to transmit out of band. As I expected, this software will also allow the Jupiter to transmit out of band. However, it looks like there is no way to do this from the Jupiter front panel. Given TT's recent ads on flash updates for 60m, I suspect that out of band Tx is not possible from the front panel.

I also noticed that the Jupiter has a High Boost feature (sort of like a tone control). Is this unique to the Jupiter as opposed the Pegasus? Is there a way to control this from the computer interface.

Are there any other features on the Jupiter not on the Pegasus (other than the front panel).

73,
Mark
