Carlos-
I concur completely with your assessment of the receiver in the Argo VI 539!
When time allows, I will be testing a theory for an inexpensive 6kc I.F. filter
retrofit for the Argo VI. That will allow even a bit more fidelity on receive
for those stations transmitting a , bit wider SSB signal. Ten Tec has the
factory 6Kc wide AM filter yet, but I was quoted $150+ carriage. No
thanks...... I'll roll my own, or go without.

Hi Lee,
I have an Argonaut VI at home, and an Argonaut
V on the way from the US.
The Argonaut VI, taking low level audio from
the rear DIN connector
and using an external
amplified speaker, and tweaking the RF Gain and
the PBT (I like hearing audio from 100 to 2400
Hz using the smallest
amount of RF
amplification possible) provides the quietest and more
pleasant audio of all the radios I have / ever
had. The only one that
gets close is the K2
(I have one) and the Corsair II.
But this is just a subjective opinion based in
my personal
preferences. The other day I was
with a guy who had an FT-857D and he
thought
it was a great radio.
I
have been getting rid of my Japanese/Chinese gear and
buying
Ten-Tec/Elecraft, so I'm a bit
biased.
73,
Carlos VK1EA
