John,
I am far from an expert, but I seem to recall that TT used the LDG
boards early on in both the Pegasus and the Jupiter. I have seen a
reference somewhere to the change over to TT tuners. Also I don't know
where or how they changed/bought/whatever the tuner design. My memory
gets flakey but it also seems to me that LDG stopped offering the
Jupiter internal tuner about the same time.
