I think this may a good point to break in and ask: does anyone know
where one can find a dual 10K potentiometer for use in an Argosy? I'd
like to do the mod to install an "RF" gain control. I've got one now,
but it's external to the Argosy; it would be much better to have it
internal.
Also: are the diodes mentioned in the KW7CD article still available?
(They're spec'd as HP 5082-2800 and HP 5082-3081) If not, does anyone
know of substitutes?
Thanks very much! That Argosy is a great little rig even without the mods!
73,
Joe, W2RBA
