[TenTec] re: USB converter for Jupiter/Peg

Wed Mar 31 11:50:14 EST 2004

I have successfully used the USB converter that is sold with the PSKmeter. It 
works perfectly with my JUPITER for all digital modes and every software 
program I have tried so far (MixW, Ham Radio Deluxe, HamScope, Multi-PSK, 
WinPSK, STREAM, Domino...). I believe it is about $29 from 
http://www.ssiserver.com/info/pskmeter/ scroll down and look for USB 
converter.  You might also want to ask your question on the JUPITER or Pegasus 
Yahoo group.
