[TenTec] N4PY Pegasus software

[Lee WA3FIY]

Boy did I have fun today!    I saw in the release notes of Carl's latest version of Pegasus 
control software that he added color options to the panel.  Yawn.......who cares?   Well....I 
now care.    :-)    That is a very nice feature.  I doubt it makes the radio work any better but it 
at least looks like it should.

I did not care for the default color so I decided to see what I could come up with that might be 
better.  Long story short, I learned some things about working with custom colors and now 
have three really nice front panel displays.

I have a Pegasus, Jupiter and RX-320.  Usually I run the Pegasus as my primary rig with the 
RX-320 as second (sub) receiver.  That's a great combination by the way.  I use the Jupiter 
though when I run AirMail with the PK-232SC.

'Can get confusing sometimes to this old goat.

Now my Pegasus version has a front panel that closely resembles the beige color of the 
Pegasus case and panel.  The Jupiter version has a soft blue panel representing the blue 
screen on the Jup.  (Black panel did not work so well as it washed out some of the labels  :-)

Since the RX-320 does not usually have it's own panel on screen but shares the Pegasus 
panel, I decided to make it's panel stand out when I run it stand alone.  It's a nice eye 
catching red.  Can't miss it!   :-)

As you can see, it doesn't take much to keep me occupied.  :-) 

Here are the setting I used:

I use Color2 in each case and have each control program loaded into it's own folder so each 
one can be configured independently of the others.

Thanks Carl!!!
