That's encouraging. Maybe I'm not listening at the right times or maybe I need a better antenna. I'll listen more.

Yes, I don't see the value in 160 meters for a low-power or portable rig ,  but 
maybe there are QRP possibilities on the band.  I'd like to see 60 meters.  I 
never hear any activity on 12 meters.  Oh, and must look mil-spec (even if it 
isn't)  like the now-discontinued ICOM 7200,  with side handles front speaker 
and keyboard frequency entry....

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?

I am mostly a casual operator here, so my Corsair II is more than adequate for 
my needs.  I am more interested in what happens to the Argonaut line.  I have 
had excellent performance with my Argonaut VI and my 6 meter transverter and 
Mirage brick amplifier.  I just ordered 6 and 2 meter transverters from Down 
East Microwave to replace my Elecraft units.  So, I may spring for a new 
Argonaut when Ten Tec gets them back into production.
