I just tried mine here. The power setting goes from 0 to 10 in 1 watts
steps. I don't know how accurate my meter is at very low power but at
the 1 watt setting it reads 0.2. At the 10 watt setting it reads 9.8.
At the 5 watt setting it reads 3.8.
But the power changing is digital and moves in steps. It may really be
1 watt at the 1 watt setting and my meter may just not read correctly at
that level.

Guys,
Can someone tell me how little output one can squeeze out of the Argo VI.
I ran my Argo V this weekend in the QRP contest at its low end of 1.5 watts
and worked all over US on 20 meters with a dipole. Would like to run lower
power than 1.5 Watts and wonder if anyone has experimented with the Argo VI as
far as the low end goes. I know it is advertised at 1-10 Watts. The Argo V is a
great little rig and would have been really great with an RF gain control.
However, you can hit the attenuator and back off the gain some which helps. I
do know the Argo VI has an RF gain control which makes it very attractive.
Also, can someone who has used both radios compare them. Thanks, Jim, K4CFA
PS: Have used the Argo V extensively mobile on 20 meters cw running full power
of 20 watts with great results. The RF gain control on the Argo VI is very
seductive.
