[TenTec] Pegasus control software

[Jim FitzSimons]

I have 466Mhz computer, so the HamStationExtreme stops some times when 
tuning fast. When SWLing I set the step large and scan fast to find 
signals. I could only set the step with the keyboard up and down arrow.
HamStationExtreme uses the keyboard. N4PY tunes fast without stopping.
It is easier to change step size on N4PY. HamStationExtreme requires 
1024 by 768 to get the whole front panel on the screen. I have trouble 
reading some things at that resolution.
One thing I like is you do not have to install HamStationExtreme.
It just runs and saves to the ini file.
The setup for MixW/TenTec in and out files is buried deep in the configure 
menus and I could not find it in the manual or help.
HamStationExtreme is better than N4PY there since you can put the in and 
out files anywhere.
N4PY can connect to an RX320 as a sub receiver on VFO B.

I think you'd find the current HSE version to be much improved over the
earlier versions.  With band switching, Carl's is a lot easier to use with
all the band buttons visible, where Mike gave up that real estate for a
bunch of other features.

It's all in what you prefer, and the N4PY software is a lot more intuitive
and performs solidly for the Peg with hardly ever a "surprise".
