Paul,
I've had my Argonaut V for more than 2 years and use it mostly on CW. The
receiver is very good indeed, especially for the price. On CW it runs rings
around the IC-706MkIIG that I borrowed before getting the Argo. It's not in
the
same league as my Orion II, but after two years with it I can say that if you
can't copy a station with the Argo V, you wouldn't have been able to work it
with 20 watts anyway. A great fringe benefit is the ease of interfacing it to
your computer for RTTY and PSK. No need for an interface box; the TT audio
cable works just fine, as long as you set the computer volume levels properly.
No, I can't compare it with Elecraft as I never had one.
73,
Ray W2RS
