[TenTec] Argo 516 question

[Rick Williams]

The RFSquared site shows the Argo V is currently at firmware 1.07.  I have
had discussions with the factory because some rigs are currently being
released with Version 1.08.  

The scoop is that 1.08 requires a hardware change to the mic audio
circuitry.  It is my understanding that the factory will release a "do it
yourself" guide to the hardware changes and version 1.08 in the near future.
I have also checked the T-T website today and my Christmas stocking
yesterday, remember I've been good, but no Version 1.08 is yet available.

According to the 516 list, some have approached the factory to do the
hardware change to rigs not under warranty and it looks like they will do
the change for about $55 plus shipping.

If you're interested, I have already done the hardware changes and written
them up on my website. 

So the firmware is still being developed and it looks like the present delay
is because of hardware changes needed to accommodate the latest firmware.

I hope this helps!

I'm sure I am way behind the times on this, but apparently Ten Tec has 
indicated it will no longer strive to improve software on the Argo 516? 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.
