Interesting comments about the software upgrade. My radio requires no upgrades, although the two tin cans rust and the string needs replaced once in a while, but it gets point-to-point. Also, the bee
Hi, Weird. I tune my OMNI VI Plus so that I'm on the same frequency as the station I want to work. Just tune the main tuning knob and listen. When there, then I transmit. Works every time and has for
Hi, Anybody running PSK with a Jupiter and no interface? How do you connect? Thanks, Rick WO8L ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to ev
Hi, I know there is no PL tone routine provided in the Jupiter.? However, I think it does work split FM.? Anybody ever worked any repeaters this way. Thanks, WO8L North Carolina _____________________
Hi, The idea of opening up software to any and all comers is a little scary.? First, in today's digital communications world, if?a company doesn't own and control the software, then what do you own??
Hi, Who in the world buys a consumer good, takes it apart and modifies or fixes it?? What?? Maybe .0001 per cent of the buyers worldwide?? If the thing breaks, you throw it away or give it to a chari

Interesting. I have two ancient Ford Escorts with way over 100,000 miles on them, a Ford Focus with 50,000 and a Ford Ranger with 5,000 on it. Prior to that, I have owned a Ford Fairmont and various
I don't understand this entire thread. Now people are parnoid that they have a Ford where they need to drop the gas tank or do something else drastic to fix RFI problems. Again, I've had eight or nin
Henry, As far as I know, the firmware version doesn't make any difference. It's an OMNI VI Plus.? I've never heard anybody ask about firmware versions before and I've had OMNI VI Plus rigs for 15 or
Anybody using the Jupiter on PSK with just the Ten Tec supplied chord directly to the computer sound card with no TNC? Does this really work?? What settings on the rig are appropriate? Thanks, Rick W
Do you run an interface or any form of impedance matching? --Rick ??WO8L Absolute correct. Run the RF output always at 100% and reduce the audio level from the sound card and or the mike gain to prod
I've already communicated extensively with Ten Tec via Scott about my deep concern for a feature on a new rig.? (O.K.? So it was only two e-mails.) In a nutshell, I am sick and tired of needing to ru
Yes, Kenwood and Yaesu rigs can be tough to get serviced.? I got rid of my backup Kenwood TS570 because it needed repair.? The parts had to be obtained from off shore.? The service people couldn't be
Oh Boy.? Aren't we quick to jump ship. I think it'll be fine. Rick WO8L Well if the code was not ready to be released within the month it was announced, TenTec should NOT have made the software or up
After reading all of these posts and if somebody has a really?disappointed view of Ten Tec and wants to get rid of their equipment, I'd be interested in a 565 or an OMNI VII or an Orion II. Since som
On the same topic, I've heard the complaints about?the Jupiter band scope, including statements that it's virtually useless. I find the feature really useful and fun.? And to me, while people complai
Oh brother.? Now people are nit picking the "feel" and " spacing" of Bencher keyers. I think I've heard it all now. --Rick ? WO8L _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list T
