So at a hamfest last spring I picked up a TenTec Argonaut. It said it was
broken and so of course I took pity on it. I finally opened it up tonight and
on the SSB board someone took the liberty of replacing the discrete crystal
2.4KHz filter section with a Galaxy 117-21 filter module. Says (in magic
marker) that it's a 9MHz SSB filter. A google search shows nothing.
Now I bought this rig broken and if this is a repair too far I won't feel too
bad, I can do other things with this (it's not in pristine condition) but I'm
curious: does anyone know what a Galaxy 117-21 is? Any good? or maybe that's
why it was sold as a problem child? (someone did a bad mod, bad impedance match
and killed the radio while trying to "make it better", who knows what else is
wrong inside this radio, I haven't even powered it up yet).
