OK Jim, let us know what you find out. I was thinking Ten Tec even made
another Argonaut (Model escapes me) some years after they made the 515. FYI, I
no longer have my 515 but it certainly was a delight to operate. At one time I
had all of the accessories to go with it and it made a beautiful setup on the
QRP desk. I was always amazed at the sensitivity of the 515 and the 509!
TenTec does some good stuff!!
