Can someone give ALL of us Jupiter owners a ...1,2,3...process. All of this
PLD file stuff, etc.. doesn't get it.
I'd like a definite procedure list from Ten-Tec on how it works, and needs
to be done. I'm hearing horror stories about blank screens, etc... Too
many variables for me to be comfortable with.
Do I need to download direct? If so, how? Give me a procedure list.
(e.g.plug A into B, do this or that, hit this button, etc...) Let's make it
user friendly, not a darn puzzle.
Lets dumb it down a bit for us non-computer techies.... I will take the
step, but only when I know I won't screw my radio up. I've just recovered
from an IE8 debacle....FYI... don't load the 8 Beta! Some sites want it,
but the normal sites don't, and won't support it. What a mess!

Subject: [TenTec] Successful Upgrade of Old Jupiter
Hi,
I finished the upgrade of my 2001 Jupiter today with no problems.? The PLD
change went smoothly and then the new chip from Ten Tec went in easily.? I
found the instructions clear and accurate.
Above a certain S-level, the decoder works well.? The only glitch this
weekend was the RTTY contest, which would have been tough to handle on CW
in any case.
Anyway, I am satisfied very much with the upgrade.?
I am saving money for a new OMNI VII or a used original Orion.? Don't know
which is the better buy, but I'm sure people on this board have an opinion
and I'd be interesting in knowing your views.
Could not make it to the Ten Tec Hamfest this weekend due to lots of rain
here in North Carolina and a tight work schedule.? Next year again, for
sure when I pick up that new OMNI VII.
73s,
Rick
