[TenTec] Successful Upgrade of Old Jupiter

[n4py at arrl.net]

I do not have the new memory chip in my Jupiter.  I installed the PLD update 
and then installed version 1.30.  It does not have the CW keyboard feature 
or CW decoder in it.  I thought I could load 1.30 to get the CW keyboard and 
decoder and lose AM and FM, and then go back to 1.29 if I wanted AM and FM. 
But both versions have AM and FM and no CW keyboard or decoder.  Has anybody 
been successful getting the CW decoder and keyboard working without getting 
the new memory chip?  What am I missing?
