You will find the Jupiter firmware at: https://www.tentec.com/?p=1332 
<https://www.tentec.com/?p=1332>     Be sure you use the correct version 
for your radio.

I use a RS-232 to USB converter from R T Systems.  This is the same one 
recommended by Tentec.   They work!  Others, well they may work and may 
not work or somewhat work.  You will need to refer to the manual to 
assure you use the correct download and install process.

There is a Tentec Jupiter 538 discussion site found on Groups.IO.   It 
has the firmware and manual files along with a lot of other information.
