[TenTec] Jupiter software

[Mark Erbaugh]

Scott,

Do you have the external tuning knob? I run a Pegasus with the N4PY software
(so I assume that this would work with your Jupiter in Pegasus mode). The
tuning knob works great, allowing me to change the frequency even if the
Pegasus control program window is hidden behind other windows on my screen,
or even minimized. Carl has added a feature that displays the frequency in
the control program icon in the taskbar, so you can minimize the control
program and still see the frequency. Also, at least with the latest version
of the N4PY control software, you can assign the MUTE function to one of the
F buttons on the control pod. That way you could quickly mute/ restore the
speaker. Hope this helps.

73,
Mark
