I''m surprised they're not changing the model# also. Although the majority of the changes are cosmetic, the morse reader is kind of a blockbuster that is sure to attract a whole new market. The first question a potential buyer of a used Jupiter is going to be "Does it have the code reader in it?".
It will probably drop the price of the older used ones also. Is there a chance the older ones could be retro-fitted with the reader?
