[TenTec] great RX320 review

[Bill L. Fuqua]

I do not need an an Argonaut V. I was was interested in a very basic (primitive)low cost receiver  that would take advantage of the existing processing capability that most people have. Something better than the cheapest kits that TT has at the present. 
   I teach classes on radio theory and construction. My students learn the basics of radio and build not only kits but their own projects that they design. Good VFOs are difficult for beginners. An inexpensive package with  the local oscillators (PC controlled) mixers and some simple filters are all they need to bread board a number  of different instruments. And using their home PC as a low frequency IF processor helps keep it within their budgets.

Why not save yourself a lot of time and effort by purchasing an Argonaut V?  Combine that with Carl's, or similar control, software and your laptop computer and you are good to go.  The Argonaut has a very good receiver.  I have not compared the specs but based on my observations and recollections I would say the Argo has a better receiver than the RX-320.  Just my opinion on the matter.   Good luck with whatever you decide to do.  73, Bill
