[TenTec] great RX320 review

[Malcolm McLeman]

Hi Bill,

 Your pupil's difficulty with oscillators, have you never tried them with
the Franklin? I built one in the early '60's using a 12AT7 double triode
minimum external components, using a high quality component L/C circuit, I
think from a BC458 or suchlike. The stability checked professionally was
exceptional, comparing easily with Colpitts or Hartley types. It was
intended for a phasing type SSB rig using the wonderful octal plug-in B & W
350 audio phase shift network..

(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.

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.

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
