[TenTec] Successful Upgrade of Old Jupiter

[wo8l at aol.com]

Hi,

I finished the upgrade of my 2001 Jupiter today with no problems.? The PLD change went smoothly and then the new chip from Ten Tec went in easily.? I found the instructions clear and accurate.

Above a certain S-level, the decoder works well.? The only glitch this weekend was the RTTY contest, which would have been tough to handle on CW in any case.

Anyway, I am satisfied very much with the upgrade.? 

I am saving money for a new OMNI VII or a used original Orion.? Don't know which is the better buy, but I'm sure people on this board have an opinion and I'd be interesting in knowing your views.

Could not make it to the Ten Tec Hamfest this weekend due to lots of rain here in North Carolina and a tight work schedule.? Next year again, for sure when I pick up that new OMNI VII.

73s,


Rick
