The Argonaut6 "Phoenix" WILL have 12m in it.
BTW, I coined the "phoenix" bit, Ten-Tec has not chosen to call it that.
Over the next 6 to 8 years, most people will probably be very happy that
they have 160m instead of 12m.
10 and 12m are going on a Sabbatical soon!

Hi,
I was rather vocal of the Argonaut VI. Part of my criticism concerned adding
160 meters and skipping 12 meters. I know the why for both.
Perhaps I could have handled the concept better if it had only 3 or 5 bands.
I don't know, but it just seemed odd that 160 meters would be so important
in a 10 watt radio.
Any body think it might be kind of cool if the Argonaut 7at became a
simpler, but direct competition for the KX3? Hmmmm, how about if the box was
a smaller version of the box for the 515?
