[TenTec] Jupiter with ALS 600

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

Does this link work for you guys?
I haven't been able to access Phil's website for quite some time now...

The same article was also in QST about 2 years ago.
If you are an arrl member, you can access it there in their archives.

Just search on AD5X or Phil Salas in 2010.

John -

Rick has given you excellent advice.  Once you are done with that, add QSK
for about $10 -
