The new filters are much sharper on the Jupiter. They are a big improvement
over the 300 hertz filter. The RF gain control on the Jupiter now works
like the latest Orion firmware. That is, as you reduce RF gain, the S meter
rises to show you the point where AGC action will start. This also has the
nice effect of not losing S meter calibration as the RF gain is reduced.
