Hi Reed, Following your suggestion, I took off the bottom plate and see that the ground connection between it and the chassis is OK (through a lockwasher lug at one of the mounting screws). However,
Jim, v1.08 of the Argonaut V includes some hardware mods as well as software. It was installed at the factory when I sent mine back last January for an unrelated warranty repair (a blown keyer chip).
The same thing happened here in Tucson. The TDE headphones were marked 14.99 but they rang up 9.99 at the register. I had to go to two CVS stores, though: the first one didn't have them. I tried them
Hi all, My O2 arrived today! I've had it on the air now for 4-5 hours and it appears to be working fine. I don't (yet) have any profound comments to make about the fine points of the O2's performance
Thanks for the update, Scott. Please keep us informed. Speaking for myself, I'd just as soon have a rig that's been debugged as much as reasonably possible, rather than getting it a little sooner. I'
Dunno, but my working assumption has always been that Yaesu/Kenwood/Icom tend to design radios with SSB primarily in mind, then add CW, while Ten-Tec works the other way around. 73, Ray W2RS
I haven't had as much experience on 160 as Bill but I did, however, spend 10 years on 2-meter EME, digging weak CW signals out of the noise before the days of WSJT, and could not agree more that well
Since this is the Ten-Tec reflector, I'd like to add a kind word for the Argonaut V. With 20 W it's not officially QRP unless you turn the power down, but it's a blast to operate. I've had mine since
Hi Keith, That's about right. No, the receiver isn't as good as an Orion or my FT-102, but after nearly a year of operation I can say that if you can't copy a station with the Argo V, you probably ca
