A company in Bulgaria is building and selling a modern version of the Argosy.
It is called the RGO-ONE.
It is a single conversion transceiver using 2 Xtal filters; a 2.4 kHz first
filter followed by an adjustable Jones filter.
It can run 5W or 50W output.

Users seem to rave about its clean audio and quiet receiver.
However, once an Op gets used to radios with good DSP filters, he may find the
RGO-ONE a bit lacking on selectivity.
It's as good as the argosy ever was, probably even better, but on a crowded
band, you can certainly tell the difference.

I had one in my car for years and just plain wore it out. While I did use it
in the shack some on CW, it was used mostly for county hunting on SSB. It was
a terrific rig and wish I had one again.
