[TenTec] Jupiter

[Steve N4LQ]

The fastest way to dispel those false rumors is come out with an update. I 
would like to see the audio output stay a bit more constant with varying 
signal levels. Weak sigs require a big AF gain boost. It makes you have to 
constantly ride the AF gain control. Then of course the sidetone volume 
changes along with this. I'm not sure if that's something firmware can fix 
though.
