Its a MUST have!! Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
Look, put aside the cool factor of having a computer controlled software defined radio and I would still buy N4PY program. It makes an already great radio even better. factor in the added control shortcuts when using the remote tuning pod and you have probably the best radio control setup possible.
Its a MUST have!!

Superior Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've been using the PY software now for about 2 years, starting with v203 (now at v265). The software is simple, effective, and built for those of us who aren't "real swift" on software. The N4PY is good stuff! Plus, Carl has been great answering questions regarding the software, usually within an hour. It just keeps geting "more gooder"!

Continues to impress ... Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I was a bit skeptical at first, but am a firm believer in this software now. Purchased a Jupiter last October, and after using the N4PY software I NEVER use the front panel controls any longer. I guess it's good to have them in case my computer crashes someday!

All the functions and features accessed while operating the radio are easier with the N4PY software. Using the computer memory to store and edit freqs. is far superior to the front panel method. And the Jupiter has great usability on its own - but this is really the way to go.

Very powerful when used in conjunction with MixW for digi-modes, and has good CW keyboard functionality as well.

Carl, the author, is extremely helpful and responsive. Definitely a great software value. In retrospect, I should've bought the Pegasus instead.

Outstanding Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I have been using Carl's software with a Jupiter since September 2002 and just started using the software with the Argonaut V. It is a great piece of software that does wonders with either one of these radios. There have been times when I had questions of Carl about certain features of the N4PY program and he has gracefully responded in a very timely manner. Well worth the cost and support. Thanks Carl.

A must have... Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I use Carl's software with my Jupiter. It really improves the operation of the rig especially when SWLing. Carl introduced himself at my table at Dayton. I made 2 suggestions concerning the software. Within a few weeks, he had emailed an updated version incorporating my suggestions...how's that for customer service! Got a Jupiter?...get Carl's software.

Earlier 5-star review posted by K4QU on 2002-06-02

I recently acquired a Pegasus and immediately added the N4PY software. The interface is a pleasure to use and easy to upgrade.

Carl stopped by my table at Dayton and introduced himself. I mentioned 2 features that I would like to see added to the interface. Within 3 weeks, the new version arrived by email and actually included my suggestions! Now that's service.

If you own a Pegasus or Jupiter, its a must-buy.
Well done Carl.

Pegasus and N4PY Software it is ***GREAT*** rated 10+ Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I just bought a used Pegasus because a friend of mine told me how good they are His call is NJ0F George and He is using a TenTec Jupiter but using it in the Pegasus mode. I think He was right about the Pegasus and the N4PY software. I received the TenTec software with the Pegasus but after looking at it and then comparing it to Carl’s N4PY software there is really no comparison you can run the rig with ether program but the N4PY gives you so many features that Ten Tec does not. About every 45 to 60 days you get an upgrade to Carl’s software and you never know what it is going to be, almost like Christmas every couple of months hihi. The software from Carl cost $35.00 bucks a year and that includes all upgrades for a year. The software never expires after regerestering it and you do not have to upgrade if you do not want to but I can’t imagine anyone not wanting to get a free upgrade for there radio. On a scale of 1-10 I would give the N4PY software a 10+.

PS: Thanks Carl for making Ham just a little bit more fun and keep the surprises coming.

Excellent software, well engineered...intuitive Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have been using N4PY's Pegasus software for about 2 years now. Carl has been both creative, and smart in his design. The package is loaded with features. His most recent addition of a CW keyboard is really nice. I look forward to getting Carl's updates. Everytime I have had a question or could not figure out something, Carl was extremely responsive. I give this 2 thumbs up.

A super piece of software providing multiple benefits! Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I delayed obtaining a Pegasus simply because I didn't want to wait for a re-boot in case of a power glitch or system crash before being able to get back on the air. I purchased the Jupiter since it circumvented this problem. I immediately fell in love with the Jupiter and tried the Ten-Tec Pegasus Emulation software but found it wasn't for me. I spend a lot of time at the computer and wasn't very keen about combining the two hobbies (ham radio and computers) other than for the pursuit of PSK-31 and SSTV. A friend kept after me to check out Carl's (N4PY) software and I kept resisting. Finally I gave in and checked it out. I am now a convinced, died in the wool, N4PY Pegasus emulation software fan. I've been using it for several months, have received several updates, find Carl to be VERY responsive about questions and I have found it to be very dependable, user friendly and a great shack accessory! I particularly like the six and two meter frequency readout and controls available for use with the Jupiter and the Ten-Tech 6 and 2 meter transverters! Great protection against the possibility of blowing the transverters, frequency correction, etc.

I have checked other similar software packages for the Jupiter but have found nothing that comes close to this one. Well worth each and every penny of the $35.00 price tag!!

Great Flexibility Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
N4PY's control program has afforded me wonderful features on my Jupiter. It has many of the same features included in Ten-Tec's program, but it goes much further than that -- for example, it easily allows for full control of the automatic antenna tuner that Ten-Tec offers. And the options is presents the owner of a remote pod (another Ten-Tec option) are just remarkable. All in all, it represents a remarkable achievement -- and Carl is continually adding to the program. Great program and even greater support!

Encouraging Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
This software has made operations with this transceiver considerably smoother. Each version adds a jewel or two to the program. I have always liked the Pegasus, which was my first rig. Signal reports are favorable and station operations would be hard to beat. Having someone of Carl Moreschi's caliber to consult about a rig that is dependent on its operating software is a win-win situation.
