Blair's inquiry reminded me that I have an extra pair of brand new, matched and lab-tested Argosy finals. I will sell them at cost ($66.00) plus $4.85 Priority Mail shipping if anyone's interested. T
Gurus, I have a spare 2.4 KHz SSB crystal filter for my Argosy II and would like to narrow its bandwidth to 1.8 KHz (or thereabouts). Has anyone done this? How? (I'm guessing I could order crystals f
I bought a little Ten Tec Argosy II a few months ago as a backup and emergency radio but find that I'm using it darned near every day. It's a very simple little radio to operate, features a wonderful
Speaking of my little Argosy -- it's time to rebuild the PTO. It's not all that flaky, but could use the attention anyway. Besides, i have a ten Tec PTO rebuild kit on hand, so why not do it? The fir

For Sale: Just serviced Argosy II (digital readout) with power supply, handheld mike, external keyer and mint Vibroplex paddle. PTO rebuilt and rig aligned this past weekend. In perfect working order
A few days ago I decided to build a keyer for my Argosy (I got spoiled by the one in the Pegasus). I "Googled" up a couple of easy circuits, but then discovered an eBay vendor who sells keyer kits fo
My Argosy II / Model 225 power supply combo began acting oddly tonight. On 20 meters and above, the power supply's circuit breaker is tripping when the rig is keyed -- even when working into a dummy
Ken Brown wrote: "Can you turn the TX power output down....?" Yes -- and doing so will raise the threshold of circuit breaker tripping as the power output -- and current draw -- is decreased. The pro
Thanks, Mike. I have increased the circuit breaker trip threshold temporarily ONLY as a test. It's back to its original setting now and I'l be consulting our friends at Ten Tec about this today. Good
Well, Ten Tec's official diagnosis is, "It could be anything" with a first reaction "sounds like the PA." Fair enough. Without the rig on TT's bench, it is impossible for them to pinpoint the problem
Dr.Johnson makes a good point about the possibility of stray RF tripping the magnetic circuit breaker in the power supply. I'll try a couple of shielding and bypass techniques. In answer to Don Kemp'
Thanks for the good checklist, Dan. As Mike, N4NT, suggested at the outset, the problem may very well be ALC related. The problem is not as random as it first appeared. Here's what happens: as I adva
Here's part of the SWR/Low Pass Filter board circuit description from the Argosy II manual: "PIN diodes D3 and D4 connect the antenna to the receiver input when receiving, and are back biased by a vo
There's one on eBay right now and the Ten Tec factory has a used one for sale. I would like to purchase a Pegasus. Would also consider the matching tuning pod (remote/encoder). Please respond direct
I've found a culprit in my battle with the trigger-happy circuit breaker. To recap: The magnetic circuit breaker in my Model 225 power supply trips just as my Argosy II's output reaches the ALC activ
