It looks like the next BETA of the 32 bit Pegasus Plus software is about ready to hit the web. I have been lucky enough to play with it and could not resist posting a screen shot.

You can see the image at http://ctiowa.com/pegplus.htm

Couple things that I find amazing about this software is the digitally filtered bandscope and the new "super mouse". I have no idea what the mouse function is really called but that is the first thing that comes to mind. This basically allows you all the same functions as a remote POD (and probably more) using an off the shelf mouse with the "wheel" on it. If I had the opportunity to use this first I would never have bought the remote POD.

The scope is simply amazing. As you can see from the above link the scope resolution is very detailed and highly usable. The example screen shot shows two vertical lines on the scope and in this case, the green is VFO A and the blue is VFO B which corresponds to the digital display colors. By left clicking your mouse on the scope display you can monitor any frequency on that displays spectrum and a quick right click will set that point to either VFO A or B, or the scratch pad. The newest version allows you to configure your interface colors including the scope, backgroud, grid,etc. It is pretty apparent the programmer is an ex Tektronix guy !

There are so many other things that I can not begin to cover them. These are the two things I am drooling over this second. 

So a little show and tell for Peg/Jupiter owners. Couldn't resist. Not sure when he plans on posting the new 2.9 version but I would think in the next day or two. 

73,
