[TenTec] CW Contests and IP3

[John Rippey <w3uls@3n.net>]

The ARRL lab's IP3 data for the Argonaut V and the Yaesu FT-920 show the 
latter's IP3 superior by a wide margin. Yet listening on several CW contest 
weekends yielded the finding that the Argonaut receiver's front end did not 
collapse under the multiple strong signal environment, while the FT-920's 
did. This is not to say that the Argo was perfect, but it was useable even 
in the face of the racket. I must have been hallucinating; after all, you 
can't argue with numbers.
