[TenTec] Jupiter Extended Report - IF Gain

[N0KHQ at aol.com]

TT sets the IF Gain on the Jupiter to 50millivolts at a S9 on the meter.

Increasing the IF Gain on the Jupiter increases the receiver sensitivity by 
about 20db.
Control of the increased IF is accomplished by adjustment of the RF Gain 
control. I typically run my RF Gain control at 78%.
The RF Gain is decreased to a point where the noise is minimal with no signal 
reduction in the transmitted audio.
Look at it as a receiver preamplifier.
I'm sure that there will be plenty of comments on this subject.......just 
don't knock it until you've tried it.

This simple mod is also available on the Peg.
