Hey Casey, easy on the "old clunker" I had one of the earlier ones that was really crude. The clunker (259) is still humming along, but I sure wish that it would give off smoke so that I'd have a goo
I would echo Fabrizio's, "That's typical of folks who have nothing to do." Now I realize that many of us might better get a "day job," but, then again, we have worked hard to become gainfully unemplo
Say Scott, First, are you working with and Argonaut V (model 516)? IF so, where is that switch on the back for high and low position? I have fiddled with the pots on the inside of the Argonaut V and
Barry, I use an old Diazor Lamp (drafting table type) to be the boom for my mic. That is one less wire hanging out there toward you. They are found at garage sales and usually have broken wires, but
Bill, There is a fellow in England who manufactures a replacement. I'll dig for it, but I know I have it thanks to Bob (MM0RKT). Bob had one after he sold his Delta II and sent it to me - works like
Bill, Here is the contact information. that Bob (MM0RKT sent to me Glowsafe (http://www.glowsafe.com/) and Paul Manning (paul@glowsafe.com) who developed an EL panel for the Argonaut. Good luck with
No, Bill Now that you mention them, we beat them around the bush too before Bob came to the rescue from MM0-land. The allelectronics are not the same, but, as explained, that product will do the job.
Lee, that is very useful and interesting data. How about the ARGO V? I was disappointed to see that it requires such a large power supply - I assume for the 20 Watt output, but it seems to want "juic
Lee, that is something - I can't believe what an energy hog it is. I would have guessed that the ARGO II would have used much more, but the processors must be humming away in the ARGO V. Many thanks,
I'm picking up the thread a few days late. Asidefrom the contesting and rare-DXing, there is a whole world of plain old morning or evening QSOs with friends that, because of seasonal changes or propo
There were many "no subject" subject lines today! So I'll pick up on a thread that is probably crucial for small raido companies in general. The inventory problem (and I did the first inventory in ab
John, The work that your team is doing is amazing and great attention to the customers' after-market needs. The ARGO V that I have I have not hooked up to the computer yet, and the idea is to use Ham

A year or two ago Steve Rudin, W1WSN and I explained our approaches to "Overcoming Antenna Restrictions" in QST. It takes some luck, social graces and time, but it can be done. I dare say though, the
I, too have been drawn into the QSO here. If you use the US currancy inflater at : http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ Then at $700 in 1978 the Titon would be $2,343 today. So T-T is running at the
Amen, again to Mike's commentary on the deadly reviews. I still have my Delta II and hauled it all over Latin America on jobs. I love it. QST reviewers gave the Delta II a bad review. The Argo model
Gary raises the question. The Cosair $1940 in 1988 and inflates to $3580 in present dollars. BUT, Joe provides the answer. Instead of "controlling for technology" (or gzimos) which is like comparing
Just a another blast from the past. Looking over my Drake R-4C sensitivity at .25uV across the ham bands and then the Eagle at .5uV and my heart glows like the R-4C cool blue dial. That being said, p
Stuart has a point, I have a Delta II with 48 memories and I have not had enough favorite places to go to fill them (and I have dedicated five to the 60 meter band). I confess that I am impressed wit
