ALT+MON enables or disables the
MONITOR function by which the
operator can hear his microphone audio
for purposes of equipment adjustment.
The default setting is off.
2.4.5. Bottom Row
М>М (VFO-to-Memory) prompts the
operator to select one of the 128 memory
channels (with the MULTI control). A
second push of the button stores the
frequency and mode data from VFO A in
the selected memory channel.
М>У (Memory-to-VFO) recalls the
frequency and mode data from a
memory channel selected by the MULTI
control and copies it to VFO A,
switching JUPITER to that setting.
Rotating the MULTI control after
pushing M>V steps JUPITER to the
frequency and mode of each stored
channel in sequence. Using any control
except M>V or MULTI at this point
returns JUPITER to the screen before
the M>V operation. A second push of
the M>V button writes the stored
channel data into VFO A allowing full
use of all controls on the recalled setting.
Tapping STEP (tuning step size) briefly
replaces any bar graph currently
showing on the bottom of the display
with a horizontal “soft menu”, The
screen temporarily redefines the 7
buttons below it as tuning step sizes
ranging from very fine (1 Hz) to coarse
(0.1 MHz). Pushing any of the buttons
sets the resolution of the Tuning knob
and returns the display to its state before
STEP was pushed, but with the new step
size in effect. STEP returns JUPITER to
Ше MULTI screen in about 3 seconds if
no step size key is pressed.
Pushing and holding the SPOT button
switches in an audio tone at the selected
SIDETONE frequency to aid in tuning

the receiver exactly to the frequency of
an incoming CW signal. SPOT and
SIDETONE adjustments appear on the
MNU function, covered in paragraph 3.3.
2.4.6. Cluster Above Tuning Knob
The six buttons in this group control
JUPITER’s BAND, MODE, VFO A and
МЕО В functions.
MODE steps sequentially through
JUPITER’s five demodulation modes:
USB, LSB, CW, ЕМ, & АМ. Initially,
JUPITER sets the MODE to USB on 10
through 20 meters, to CW on 30 meters,
and to LSB on 40 through 160 meters.
These settings are conventional and
popular on those bands, but stored
operator settings can override them.
JUPITER returns to the last mode used
on a given band.
BAND steps sequentially through
JUPITER's 9 amateur radio band
allocations: 28, 24, 21, 18, 14, 10.1,
7.0, 3.5, & 1.8 Megahertz. The
receiver coverage is continuous from 0.1
to 30 Megahertz with automatic band
changing.
The SPLIT key switches between
transceiving on the VFO A frequency
(normal state) and receiving on the VFO
А frequency but transmitting on the VFO
B frequency (SPLIT state) SPLIT is
normally off. See paragraph 2.4.11.
The REV (reverse) key works while
SPLIT operation is active. While you
push and hold the REV key, JUPITER
tunes and receives on the frequency and
mode from VFO B (the transmit VFO).
Though REV defaults to off, it is
convenient іп particular operating
situations. See paragraph 2.4.12 below
for an example of REV use.
To switch the active VFO, tap the A/B
button above the tuning knob. The VFO
