I've had an Argo V for almost a year now, and my good experience with it was part of what convinced me to go for the O2. It was updated to 1.08 by TT last spring. I don't operate much SSB, so the thi
It has nothing to do with RF. You can turn the power down to 1 watt and the keyer problem is still there. It's still there on a shielded dummy load. 73, Ray W2RS
The update took me about 10 minutes at 9600 baud, using Win 98SE. Next time I'll try re-setting it to 56K. No way should it take you as long as it is. 73, Ray W2RS
While the Argo V, with its 350 Hz bass roll-off, does sound "thin," remember that bass frequencies do not contribute to intelligibility. The Argo's primary application is as a stand-alone QRP radio,
Right. So my proposed solution of a single-purpose upgrade would enable you to lower the roll-off, and those who want it left alone could do so also without giving up other features. I do use the Arg
Hi, I must say that I'm mystified by the comments that have come back since my original post on this topic. Some people report problems with the O2 keyer, and some say that theirs is fine. (I can't r
Hi all, Summarizing many of the comments that have appeared on this topic since my post, they seem to fall into two groups: 1. Those whose SSB operation with the Argo V consists mostly of ragchewing
My internal keyer is set for Mode B. One poster, however, (I forget who) said that his keyer randomly switches between the two modes. Maybe it's his keyer that's confused :-) 73, Ray W2RS
No, I stopped being KN2QBW in early 1956. I've had several other calls along the way in various places, but in 1976 I switched from K2QBW to W2RS, in part because the call was available and I didn't
I run my Argo V off the TT 937 supply, which I leave on all the time and turn the radio on and off. Never a problem, and the 937 is completely quiet. 73, Ray W2RS
Hi all, definition of 'masochist': someone who buys a 20-watt radio and then insists on putting it on SSB. (Or maybe it's just someone who keeps this thread going -- I guess I resemble that remark.)
Ron, There do seem to be some processor overload issues, but I haven't noticed any tendency toward jumpy tuning. It seems smooth to me. I don't have the radios you mentioned, nor did I have an origin
I've had a Mirage B1016 amp for 20 years and have always operated it with RF sensing, with a variety of exciters. The internal preamp has never had a problem. 73, Ray W2RS
Gee, I wonder. Should we take a poll on the reflector to see which would win? BTW, my O2 is on its way back from the mother ship after having an IC and two diodes replaced on its logic board (Paul di
For $13K they're entitled to some real issues for their money <g>. My O2 is scheduled to arrive from the TT Service Dept. late this week, and I'm hopeful that the crashing and keying problems I descr
With all the comments about the Begali Simplex, I just wanted to put in a good word for his Signature paddle as well. I've had mine since April, and it's the best paddle I've ever used. A real pleasu
Reed, My Argo V, also v1.08, must have a little more audio gain than yours, or else I just talk louder, so the numbers are a little different, but I also notice that the 706 desk mike has lower outpu
Yippee! My notice arrived today that a 33 lb. package from Ten-Tec is scheduled to arrive Dec. 28th. For those keeping track of order dates, that's exactly 4 months after my order was placed. Guess w
