The Argonaut 5, the 599 Eagle and 539 Argo VI are a distinct branch of the Ten-Tec product line. For context, the Pegasus/Jupiter transceivers used a single DSP/UI processor and the Orion(s) used 3 processors (2x DSP, 1x UI) they were both designed around a dense, complex PCB for the Digital section. These new radios […]
Development on the Orion I started in 1999. This was happening along side the Pegasus and Jupiter development. The DSP for the Orion is Analog Devices 21k series floating point, compared to fixed point for other Ten-Tec DSP radios. Floating point improved overall signal processing quality while also simplifying some of the AGC routines.
The model 538 Jupiter Transceiver sprang from the Pegasus core and was internally called the PegasusFP long before it became known as the known as the Jupiter.
