Hello All, One more time: I realize that some Orion and Jupiter owners are not having RFI problems. Good! For those of you out there that are, I would like to recommend the following: 1. Purchase a T
The unit you may want to purchase is the MFJ 1040B. This is an inline unit and will work fine. Or, you can turn up the IF Gain control pot and adjust the receiver sensitivity using the RF gain contro
The only rig I know of that offers true transmit audio monitoring is the Kenwood TS-870. 73 John / N0KHQ / St. Louis Always on 17M Antennas: You can build 'em better than you can buy 'em. Visit: http
TT sets the IF Gain on the Jupiter to 50millivolts at a S9 on the meter. Increasing the IF Gain on the Jupiter increases the receiver sensitivity by about 20db. Control of the increased IF is accompl
Way to go Dudley. Where the mod really shines is on 75m. I just turn the RF Gain down to about 75% - 78% and the noise disappears, and the received audio is still loud. I'm not sure what's going on i
Your wiring idea looks good. Use RED for PTT. You cant hurt anything as long as you stay away from Pin 4 on the 4 pin din plug. 73 John / N0KHQ / St. Louis Always on 17M Antennas: You can build 'em b
If you measure the continuity between pin # 2 (ground) or the mic connector to the grounding lug on the rear of the radio you will find that there is approx. 6 ohms of resistance. I had to use very s
Well, thank you Bill. If owners of Jupiter's and Orion's would get their ohm meters out and check their rigs as suggested in an earlier email they will find, on the Jupiter approx. 4 ohms of resistan

Turn the unit off then back on. If the condition persists do a "Reset". You should be running ver.1.26 on the rig. Hope this helps. If not, let me know. I dont want to start anything on the reflector

Set the rolloff at 100hz and the transmit band width to 3000. The will give you a 2900 transmit bandwidth. If people tell you your too bassy raise the roll-off up to say...200hz. Dont expect the Stud
No problem on this end after dumping 1.25 in the Jup. You might try reloading the update. I wish TT would write the necessary programming that saves all user settings when the rig is powered off. It
Hi Mike, I have the Ameco PT-3 and use it with the Jupiter. The Ameco is an "inline" receive preamp (1.8 through 54.0) complete with transmit delay, tune control and gain control. The PT-3 will handl

Good Jody, A dipole is a balanced antenna that you are feeding with an unbalanced transmission line. The size of your RF choke is way off. I suggest that you purchase a "B1-2K" Current Balun from Rad
