I have one, but the topic of the 505 had a lot of helful posts to QRP-L back in the 90's. I would suggest you search the list archives available from QRP-ARCI club website. Most everything is there y

Thanks so much. The manual for the 505 (which my argo is) does not match the type of dial string I have, but the 509 manual seems to match. I should get it going or so I hope. 73, Jim. I think the t

So far I have rebuilt the PTO with the kit from TenTec. But I found the dial calibration is off by a few kc (2-3) Even if I try to use the offset maxed to one extreme, it's not on frequency. It's a P
