To use the 705 for VOX with the Jupiter, you need to put the switch in the
VOX position. Then you need to lock the mic into transmit mode (left button
on the top - the LED will be on). Because you switched the switch on the
bottom, this action will not activate the PTT on the Jupiter, so it will be
dependent on the VOX. You just have to remember to reverse the steps on the
705 if you want to go back to PTT operation.

This is a common complaint among Jupiter / Pegasus owners. I don't think
that there is an internal ajustment. The monitor volume is also dependent
on the AF gain setting. You may be able to get enough monitor volume if you
crank the AF gain up. Of course, you'll have to crank it down when you go
back to receive.
Also, note that the monitor audio represents the audio going in to the
Jupiter, it does not include the effect of any processing in the radio, so
it really can't be used to make those adjustments - you'll have to do those
over the air.

If you haven't already, check out the website N9VV.COM for information on
some mods you may want to make to your Jupiter.
