Hi, Tim, I just turned my Jupiter on and sent a few characters to see if I
could identify what you called a "squelch tail" but I couldn't. I have a
Triton IV, Argonaut 509, Century 21 and Corsair and I can't tell the
difference between the Jupiter's QSK and any of them, it's certainly fast
enough for me. But that may be the issue: fast enough for me doesn't mean
it's fast enough for everyone. Perhaps other folk can chime in with their
experiences.
73,
Joe, W2RBA
