[TenTec] Jupiter software

[Scott Johnson]

Mark,

I like controlling the radio from the computer, but sometimes, I need to
change the volume quickly (like when the phone rings), and grabbing a knob
is MUCH faster than fumbling for a slider with the mouse.  I also like a
KNOB for my VFO ... trying to adjust a VFO with a mouse is like trying to
peel M&M's.

If the Pegasus mode would just leave the VFO knob and AF gain available, I'd
be totally happy.

     Scott
