Fish,
I think that is right; getting used to it is the key. Our club bought one
because we felt it would be easier to operate by various members with
various skill levels. I used if for awhile but didn't like the noise when
you moved the tuning dial. Another ham who has ICOM and Yaesu rigs finds
the few knobs and sequence operation of some modes take getting used to as
does the entire operation. I find the software, either the Ten-Tec Pegasus
or the N4PY versions to be very helpful, as they simplify operation. The
best things I like about it is it's nice receive audio quality which is
going some with its small speaker and its bandwidth control with a single
knob.

Fish,
Dont rise to the bait these guys are setting. If you buy a Jupiter Im
afraid you might get hooked. Ive haddie one for 3 years now and fin it reel
nice. Its been over a year since the last firmware update because the
current firmware is stable. It compares favorably with rigs in its price
class and offers the nuance of IF DSP in all all mode, general coverage,
full featured rig.
Once you are proficient in operating the rig, superior performance has been
reported beyond what its bragging rights have a right to brag. Though this
may be a fi...er..Jupiter story.
