21. [TenTec] CW Contests and IP3 (score: 1)
Author: w3uls@3n.net (John Rippey)
Date: Thu Mar 6 23:00:07 2003
The ARRL lab's IP3 data for the Argonaut V and the Yaesu FT-920 show the latter's IP3 superior by a wide margin. Yet listening on several CW contest weekends yielded the finding that the Argonaut rec

Date: Fri Mar 7 09:44:25 2003
Hello, Barry: Many thanks for your posting. It raises an intriguing question--not for that particular FT-920 since I've just sold it--but about the FT-920 generally. I never considered the possibilit

Given the variables involved in lab data results and their interpretation, as discussed in this thread, there seems to be no substitute for in-home evaluations of transceiver performance by each ham

"Alas, to my knowledge, no one doing testing looks at more than a sample of one. The ARRL Lab ends up spending about 20-30 test hours on a major rig and it really isn't possible to do complete testin

Date: Sat Feb 8 22:13:19 2003
Hello: I received from Ten-Tec yesterday a new (demo) Argonaut V with TCXO, which I got primarily for CW. Not surprisingly, the QSK is excellent and sooo quiet. What came as a pleasant surprise is th

My first three CW contacts with the new Argonaut V have turned out to be LW2DX, 3B8CF, and HR5/F2JD. This rig keeps on surprising me. If Ron is correct about the front end holding up, I may well be s

Ron, K5DJ, the WriteLog guru, tells me he's planning to include support for the Argonaut V in his WriteLog program asap. He also is planning to add some QRP contest modules to WriteLog and asks what

In last weekend's ARRL CW DX contest, the Argonaut V I just bought held up amazingly well amid the strong signals. In fact, the comparison rig--a Yaesu Mark V with 500/400 Hz (Yaesu/Inrad) filters--p

Readers of CQ Magazine will find an excellent review of the Argonaut V in the March issue. Very thorough and balanced. Does not have lab data, of course. 73, John, W3ULS

It looks like the first Orions are just around the corner, and I get nervous when I think that the rig's reputation will to a considerable extent stand or fall on what the ARRL's lab reports. Since t

If Ten-Tec would set aside a spot at its fall fest for participants in this reflector to gather face-to-face, it would in and of itself be worth the journey to East Tennessee for the experience, IMHO

Hello, folks: To reiterate a point I made in an earlier posting, not only are receive figures important, but so are transmit figures. Many recent rigs have unacceptable two-tone 3d order IMD numbers

I agree with Caitlyn that a first impression posted on eHam.net is not a definitive review. On the other hand, first impressions are important, because radios not only are measurable objectively with

While devoting considerable resources to receiver design to provide reasonable clarity and selectivity, manufacturers of ham radios seem to slight the transmit function. Some rigs marketed today may

If I am not mistaken, there are some differences in the OMNI VI models depending on when they were built. At some point, in order to rein in costs, Ten-Tec went to a less expensive VFO/decoder on the

IMHO, it is much more important that the first Orions, when shipped, meet their specs and have no notable QC problems, rather than meet an arbitrary "ship by" date. Since the Orion is pricey, skeptic

The price of top-end Japanese-made radios has jumped $100-$200 and more in the past few days, no doubt reflecting the fact that the yen has risen 12% against the dollar since February and suggesting
