First comment, what the heck is so important about a color display? In my opnion, it is just "flash and trash" as we used to say. How does color make the radio better? Second, I've yet to see one Jap
On Wednesday I decided to order the Argonaut V to take on vacation. Ordered it with the TCXO option and specified Fedex shipping in order to have it the next day. On Thursday, the Fedex guy came to t
When a web site clearly states that if you order the product by 2:00 pm EDST, they will ship it the same day, then they are saying we have the radio in stock and will ship it provided you place the o
Bill and others, I guess it is my sales background that says the salesman should be doing the work to complete the sale. I don't think the customer should be the one that has to have the initiative a
Bob, Thank you. It is very plain. I ordered by 2:00 pm and specified Fedex overnight for an additional charge of $40 to get it overnighted. I completed the order as specified on their website in orde
Well I did a lot of thinking about the Argo V purchase over vacation and took a good look at the competition. While the Japanese rigs may have more features, and bands like VHF and UHF, they just see
Casey, I tend to agree somewhat. I failed to mention that I already have a LDG Z11 Autotuner and use that with the Argo and all my other QRP rigs. It is not linked to band selection, but is pretty au

You know what seems to be kind of funny with the import competitors is that they can produce a rig with flaws and in a sense, unless it is a major flaw that the manufacturer agrees (rarely) to correc
The RIT light does not come on, even if the RIT button is depressed, until you actually turn the multi knob and have the receiver frequency different from the xmit frequency. My LSB light does come o
Nick would like to add support for the Orion and Argonaut V in MixW. Anyone know where this information is located? Duffy www.wb8nut.com --Original Message-- From: Nick Fedoseev To: <tentec@contestin
Please try "Jupiter (enhanced PC control) with Argonaut - V and ORION The documentation says that Jupiter, ORION and Argonaut have same commands for frequency and mode control. Please let me know th
No wonder I could not get it to work. I tried every baud rate down to 9600. I had no idea anyone would still use that low of a baud rate with such a new radio. Carl, what about the baud rate for the
When I got home I set the baud rate in MixW to 1200 as N4PY suggested and it worked! I have the RTS and DTR to "always on" you may try that and see if the changes go both ways. Regards, Duffy www.wb8
Jim, When you adjusted the audio controls of the soundcard, did you adjust the levels when it is in recording mode or playback mode? Common mistake that people miss. Go to the audio mixer in windows,
I installed 1.23 of the firmware and have a new, but very strange problem. I am using an LDG AT 11MP autotuner with the Jupiter. When on 15 meters, and this only happens on 15 meters, if I press the
I think I found the problem. After updating the Jup to 1.23, I left the serial cable attached since I was playing around with the Pegasus emulation mode. As soon as I disconnected the serial cable, t
Well I was disappointed when the higher price was announced for the 516. Now that I have seen the rig up close at Dayton today, in my opinion, it is very overpriced. They had the rig opened up for al
A nice analysis, but it is not totally accurate. The government's inflation calculator does not take into account the growth in manufacturing productivity over the same period. For example, the price
Art, some good points. Billy, I'm not sure what you are getting at. Productivity has everything to do with keeping prices down when faced with an increase in wages. My point on productivity is that t
