Is the thought that the software has reached its peak and works quite well or has Ten Tec indicated that they may phase out the Argo? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hmmm, well that is the same info I received when I questioned them 
regarding Firmware upgrades to the Jupiter and the RX-350. Frankly I 
don't consider either design refined enough but evidently Ten-Tec Sales 
does and decisions like these are generally sales driven. I traded away 
my Jupiter for the more functionally evolved Omni-VI+ and I will 
probably trade/sale my RX-350 in the near future. I'm done with SDR for 
now. Maybe I'll try them again in another five years or so.
