[TenTec] Jupiter and static problems

[Keith Flint]

I have a Jupiter in for repair at Ten-Tec that got zapped when I plugged 
in a Ten-Tec
KR-50 keyer into the key jack. Ten-Tec Tech. says I zapped it with 
static, so now
the Jupiter is keyed anytime I go into CW mode. I think it fried the 
keying transistor.

Has anyone else had this problem? Ten-Tec says the Jupiter key line is 
succceptible to static,
and they will be adding something to help with that during the repair. 
The keyer was turned on
at the time I plugged it in. It has its own power supply built in, and 
has a reed relay for keying,
although the n/o contact and the plug barrel is grounded to the keyer 
common ground. It was not being keyed at
the time I plugged it into the jupiter.
