I agree with you Chris. I'm not paying for these upgrades. My radio now
does more than it did a year ago. The radio met my expectations not long
after I power it up. Now it exceeds my expectations! I bet a lot of
Jupiter owners enjoy the upgrades so they have something new to check out.
You can always reload an older version and TT has fixed the few bug there
have been.
