#TEN TEC PEGASUS MANUAL PDF#
And there are many, many options in the menu.įor the firmware downloads, plus other downloads such as a PDF copy of the manual, go to. I particularly like the wide range of filters. Yes, the Jupiter is an early example of SDR, but it doesn’t allow the flexibility that you’d find in a modern (and expensive) SDR.

For newer versions of firmware, press ALT and then STEP and the screen will briefly display the firmware. On the older firmware, the version shows at power-up. Any tips? Can the internal ATU be switched out of line? It also has 5 MHz capability, and I would be using a random-length doublet, fed with ladder line, via an external ATU, for that experimental band. I just found out that the rig I am buying has the internal ATU fitted. In the world of SDR, therefore, it seems as though the Jupiter is a ‘set-it-up-the-way-you-want-it-by-software-then-run-it’ radio. I visited the Ten Tec web site yesterday and did not find any link there for firmware where should I be looking? How would I check the firmware? What is the physical process? Would I need to connect it to a computer for that? Please excuse the basic questions. (All of our computers currently in use here at home are Apple anyway) I do have HRD on an old lap-top, but I much prefer to operate a rig with my hands, and as my main operation is HF SSB plus some AM on 10m I’m not too concerned about its performance on digital modes – I used to operate RTTY, packet, and more recently PSK31, and may go back to digital one day, but not right now. But it works fine on all digital modes I’ve tried. The older Jupiters (mine is older) are exceptionally sensitive to input digital audio, so I have had to cut the level way down with some extra resisters.
#TEN TEC PEGASUS MANUAL UPGRADE#
If you do get the Jupiter, check the firmware-you may want to upgrade to the latest.įor digital, I use the SignaLink USB. However, a far more satisfactory computer control solution is Ham Radio Deluxe.
#TEN TEC PEGASUS MANUAL SOFTWARE#
The TenTec website offers the Pegasus software so that you can control it completely from the computer, but note that the Pegasus software will NOT work on Windows 7. It can connect to the computer via RS-232 for control if you want to.

The TenTec 538 Jupiter is a stand-alone radio.

I need to know the really dumb stuff like does it have to be hooked up to a computer ALL the time, or just when you’re setting it up? Can you help? I know less still, and virtually nothing about SDR. It is being held in the second-hand section of a dealership that doesn’t usually carry Ten Tec equipment and therefore doesn’t know much about it. I was drawn to your site because I have been offered a 2nd hand Ten Tec Jupiter 538 if I can get the money together by Saturday afternoon. In our conversation we spoke of many features of the radio which may be of use to owners.Īs shown below, Paul’s words are in block italics. Over the past decade, Ten-Tec has come out with several firmware upgrades for the Jupiter, adding features such as AM, transmit roll-off frequency control, 60-meter operation, and (with a hardware modification), a CW receive capability plus the ability to plug in a PS-2-type keyboard for CW transmit capability. The Jupiter is an early example of “software-defined radio,” meaning that critical processing steps are done in the rig’s firmware rather than with hardware dedicated to specific tasks such as demodulation. This great rig has been in their lineup for over a decade and was discontinued only recently. Paul, GM4ULS, and I exchanged several emails in August, 2013, about the Ten-Tec Jupiter, which Ten-Tec lists as their Model 538 HF transceiver.
