I think I found the problem. After updating the Jup to 1.23, I left the serial cable attached since I was playing around with the Pegasus emulation mode. As soon as I disconnected the serial cable, the problem went away.

Hello Duff,
Got the same problem with my Jupe-have had several other rigs in the shack
and every time I spoke to anyone at Dollyland,the stock answer was "you must
have RF in ur shack".Got a darn near bulletproof ground system  here
and,no,other rigs do not exhibit ths problem.Basically,T/T rigs do not have
good shielding and if you can live with this,thay are great.
The problems with my Jupe are simalar to yours:
1.On 20 mtrs,RF gets into my D104 mike-if I use a T/T 700 handheld,no
problem.
2.On 17 mtrs,RF gets into the T/T 700 but not into the D-104.
3.When using the J-303 remote pod on 10 mtrs,the xmit freq will automaticlly
start counting downward unless I "wriggle" the tuning knob on the
remote-then it stops:this only occurs while in front panel operation.
When in Peg emulation mode,the problem does not occur.
Basically,the fundamental problem is piss poor shielding in the Jupe.

I installed 1.23 of the firmware and have a new, but very strange problem.

I am using an LDG AT 11MP autotuner with the Jupiter.  When on 15
meters, and this only happens on 15 meters, if I press the tune button
on the Jupiter, the rig immediately changes frequency to somewhere
between 20 and 22 Mhz.  I have tried all other bands and everything
works fine on those bands.  Anyone else experience this?
