  Hello Larry..  Here is the info on the QST review:

Jan-92 Product Review: Ten Tec Argonaut II and Delta II Transceivers (pg 77)


  There is a web site with an index of QST from 1972 to present, and you can
use the SEARCH function of your web browser to look for topics in the
index..  Here's the web site:

http://ouvaxa.cats.ohiou.edu/~mcfaddenv/qst.htm

  It's not a real index like in the last issue each year, but a list of the
front page table-of-contents of each issue.  But it's a lot better than nothing!

  It sounds like the S-meter could need to be adjusted.  Does it seem to not
show readings?  I'm sure there is a calibration pot inside.

  By the way, does your Jones filter change center frequency as you adjust
it for narrow bandwidth?  I have an Argo 556 (the QRP version of the Scout),
and it's Jones filter shifts the center freq down as it gets narrower.  Just
wondering!
