I have used an Astron SS-30M with a Jupiter for over four years with no
known problems. I purchased a second Astron SS-30M for use with the Orion
II, it has been in use for almost four months, no apparent problems.

Bill, I used an Astron ss-30m switcher ps with my Jupiter and it give my
Jupe fits. My cw rx and tx sounded raspy. It somehow pulled the vfo off
freq. The fish finder window showed crazy stuff. It took a while to figure
out it was the ps. I'm slow. Anyway I put it on big Battery and worked
better than ever. Just a thought. Gud luck. Roger W4IV

Bill,
The little 25-amp switching power supplies, from various manufacturers,
work great with the Jupiter.
That's what I use. Ten-Tec also markets a switching supply for it under
the Ten-Tec brand name. You
can also get switching supplies from MFJ, Astron and others. They're much
lighter than the larger,
linear power supplies. They also have overvoltage and overcurrent
protection. If you get one, make
sure it's designed for radio use as the switching supplies need filtering
to keep hash noise out of the
radio.

Subject: [TenTec] Jupiter Query
I just acquired a Jupiter on that big auction in the sky, and since
it did not come with a manual, I have called Ten-Tec and ordered
one. But I have some questions while I am waiting for the manual:
1) Software version 1.02 b4 is installed in the radio... this is
evidently the first version they came out with (Yes, it has a red
dot, for those who want to know). I know I can go to RFSquared and
get the latest version, but what about the versions between 1.02 and
1.28? Where can I get those to play with them?
2) Since I do not have the TT power supply, would a 20 amp supply be
enough? And do I need the magnetic circuit breaker?
3) What else do I need to know to get started, or does anyone have a
bunch of hints as to the best way to operate with it. (I am not the
best on CW, and most of my operation is on SSB, with gobs of SWL
thrown it for fun)
Bill
