Bill,
Yes, WinXP Pro is fine. You don't need any diskettes so $35 is also fine.
The diskettes are just for people that don't have or know how to use email.
Yes, I like to see apicture of the Chinese ACR-155.
73,

N4PY Software for your Ten-Tec Orion, Pegasus, Jupiter, Argonaut V,
RX-350, RX-320, RX-331, or RX-340
My control program software has been in use since October, 1999. The
Pegasus/Jupiter control program has been through 58 version updates
during this time. It is a very mature and stable product. Most of
the added features are a direct result of user input. All the emphasis
has been on the product and not on this website!
In order to get my Orion, Pegasus, Jupiter, rx320, rx350, rx331,
Argonaut V, or rx340 software, you must be a registered user. Over the
past year, there has been a new software version of the Pegasus/Jupiter
software each month or two. As a registered user, you will receive
free updates as they come out for a period of 1 year. After the year
expires, you will no longer receive updates until you renew your
registration. Any version you received prior to your registration
expiring, will continue to operate for as long as you use it. Your
license to use the software you have received is lifetime. This is
very different from other Pegasus/Jupiter Software providers.
As long as your registration is current, updates will be emailed to
you as they come out. There is no website. The Pegasus/Jupiter
software has been reviewed in the May 2001 QST on page 65. There
are also several reviews on my software at www.eham.net.
To become a registered user for my Pegasus/Jupiter/RX-350 software,
mail a personal check (I do not wait for it to clear) for $35 in
US dollars to
Carl Moreschi
173 Cody's Way
Franklinton, NC 27525
Make the check payable to Carl Moreschi and PLEASE
include your EMAIL address and call sign. You can also use PayPal.
Send the money to n4py@earthlink.net to use PayPal.
If you do not have internet access and want the software on
diskette, there is an additional charge of $10.00 for
a diskette mailed directly to you.
All my software runs on all windows operatings systems starting with
Windows 3.1, including Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.
Products:
Orion Control Program
First Time Registration $80
Annual renewal Registration $40.00
This is the N4PY Orion Control Program. It will control
an Orion transceiver. Additionally, it will allow an RX-340
to be used as an alternate receiver to the Orion.
The Orion program features "Smart VFO". This is an intelligent
algorithm that automatically assigns the best receiver to VFO A
and VFO B depending on the frequencies of each VFO making the ham band
only limitation of the Orion's main receiver almost unnoticeable.
The software also allows the seemless use of transverters
for the VHF/UHF bands with the display showing the transverter frequency.
Full configurability directly from the program is available.
Additionally, there is a save/restore feature for the internal
memories of the Orion. You can select to run the program in Front
Panel control mode and have the program monitor the operation of the
Orion. This allows the software to export a pegasus file interface to
any logging program that can work with a pegasus. The end result is you
can now have full logging control of the Jupiter while the Orion is in
front panel control. You can also decide to run the Orion entirely
from the program and not use the Orion front panel controls at all.
Pegasus/Jupiter/RX-350/RX-320/Argonaut V Software
Annual Registration $35.00
This is the N4PY Pegasus Control Program. It will control
a Pegasus, Jupiter, RX-320, RX-350, or Argonaut V as a primary
radio. Additionally, it will allow an RX-320, RX-350, second
pegasus, or second Jupiter to be used as a sub-receiver to the
primary radio with the sub-receiver following VFO B.
This allows for full dual receive capabilty for DXer's.
The software also allows the seemless use of transverters
for the VHF/UHF bands with the display showing
the transverter frequency.
Starting with Version 2.00, full configurability directly from the
program is available. There is no longer any need to directly modify
the "pegasus.ini" file to change settings.
Additionally, there is a save/restore feature for the internal
memories of the Jupiter, RX-350, and Argonaut V. You can also run the
Jupiter and Argonaut V in Front Panel control mode and have the program
monitor the operation of the Jupiter and Argonaut V. This allows the
software to export a pegasus file interface to any logging program that
can work with a pegasus. The end result is you can now have full logging
control of the Jupiter while the Jupiter is in front panel control or
the Argonaut V.
RX-331/RX-340 Software
First time Registration $100.00
Annual renewal registration $35.00
This software marries the RX-331 or RX-340 top of
the line receivers with a Pegasus or Jupiter to allow
full transceive operation. The RX-331/RX-340 becomes
the main receiver with the Pegasus/Jupiter receiver
following VFO B to allow full dual receive. This is
a dynamite setup representing the ultimate transceiver
configuration. The software will also allow the RX-331
or RX-340 to be used standalone without a Pegasus or
Jupiter. There is a small modification required to the
Pegasus/Jupiter to allow the two receivers to share the
same antenna. Also, a fairly simple interface box must
be constructed for the software to control muting between
the two radios. There is a review of this software at
www.eham.net under HF Transceivers "Ten-Tec RX340/Pegasus
System".
My webpage at www.ralabs.com/n4py has a screen shot of the program.
It also allows you to look at the user's manual for the program.
