Ten-Tec JUPITER - Page 16

2. GETTING STARTED
2.1. INTRODUCTION
Some JUPITER controls are constantly in
use, and some need changing only
occasionally according to your operating
preferences. The default settings listed
below will allow you to get started with
JUPITER. You can customize the
operation to more closely fit your
preferences, as you become familiar with
the transceiver.
When approximately 5 seconds of
inactivity occur after a control change,
JUPITER saves your settings in non-
volatile memory. This happens
automatically and does not require a
standby battery as older technology did. A
pound sign (#) appears in the lower right-
hand comer of the screen to verify the
automatic store. If you power down the
radio with the # in place, your current
settings will return the next time you apply
power.
2.2. POWERING JUPITER FOR
THE FIRST TIME
Connect a suitable resonant antenna (SWR
less than 2:1) to the rear panel 50 OHM
ANTENNA connector. Connect a suitable
DC power source to the transceiver (see
paragraph 1-1). Tum on your power
supply first, then JUPITER.
At power-on, you will see the firmware
version message briefly on the display,
after which the screen will resemble
Figure 2-1.

buttons or rotary knobs for control, and are
also controllable by pointing, clicking,
and/or "dragging" with your computer

chapter 8). JUPITER constantly displays

setting іп response to pressing the
appropriate front panel key(s).
2.3. INITIAL RADIO SETTINGS
As supplied from the factory, JUPITER's
firmware includes a number of default
settings to allow the operator to quickly
start using the transceiver. Please note that
we recommend reading ALL the operating
instructions | before ` operating е
transceiver.
The top row of JUPITER’s graphic display
screen (see Figure 2-1) shows the status of
eight alternate-action controls starting with
AN and NR. Black letters on the colored
background indicate that the function is off
and colored letters on a black background
(reverse video) mean that the function is
active. Initially, these controls should be
off.
2.4. A BRIEF TOUR OF THE
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
The following paragraphs will provide
some familiarity with the controls, after
which more details follow in chapter 3.
2.4.1. Left Edge
Along the left edge of the panel are the
POWER switch and three self-explanatory
connectors: PHONES, KEY, and MIC.
2.4.2. Second Column
The next column to the right on the panel
has the AN and NR buttons which enable
the DSP functions, Automatic Notch and
Noise Reduction. Below those buttons
are three rotary | knobs labeled
BANDWIDTH, РЕТ, and MULTI.
Rotating the BANDWIDTH knob chooses
the receiver selectivity from among
JUPITER's 34 built-in DSP filters. After а
reset operation, BANDWIDTH defaults to
2400 hertz, the normal 558 setting, and a
good place to start. That indication appears
just above the horizontal line near the
