[TenTec] Value of Jupiter Pod or PC Options?

I use one on an Orion, but the Pod is the Pod.

I find it to be an extremely useful accessory.  My Orion sits on a 
shelf above the desk.  The Pod is on the desk right next to the key, 
and is what I use for routing tuning.  Saves strain on the shoulder :-)

I have the N4PY software, and use it occasionally, mostly from a 
computer in another room (my office).  But in front of the radio I'm 
more of a grab the knob rather than a grab the mouse guy when it 
comes to radio control.  The N4PY software does allow many more 
functions that T-T supplies for the function buttons, etc.

In any case, I like the Pod.
