[TenTec] Customer Requests for a Jupiter Wish List

[j]

Okay guys and gals, I have compiled the following from posts that I have
received over the past week or so.  Let me know if you see any errors/needed
updates/etc... before I send the finalized list off to TenTec.

Note that this list is NOT ranked in any order of preference:

 1.  a 24 hour clock.
 2.  an id timer.
 3.  a cw id'er.
 4.  a manual notch on the menu list.
 5.  to know the NB is on or any of the on/off gizmos by a corresponding
          sign on the LCD.
 6.  AGC settings to stay the same on power up instead of adjusting it
          everytime.
 7.  Split operation -- when in split, have the bottom VFO TX message
          backlit like the other buttons to show it is in that mode of
          operation.
 8.   the ability to save and restore the content of the Jupiter memories.
          All tentec has to do is add a command to read all memories and
          another command to write all memories.
 9.  An automatic 'Mute on Tune' function that automatically mutes output
          CW carrier audio when you hit the tune button while working in any
          mode (SSB, CW, AM). You can do this manually by turning down
          the CW sidetone volume, but this should be easy to program in.
10. External LDG AT-11MP interface. I've already talked to Scott at TT
          about this. With the unused DIN port on the back of the radio it
          should be easy to program it to 'mimic' the auto tuner commands
          (found on Icom and Alinco radios) that allow you to change bands,
          hit the tuner button, have the AT-11MP find a match and then have
          the TT's 'Tune' feature automatically shut off when a less than
          1.5:1 match is reached. I believe this function already exists in
          the firmware to drive the optional internal LDG tuner. It may just
          be a matter of routing the same instruction set out to the unused
          DIN port and publishing some cable construction diagrams.
