[TenTec] IF DsP TEn Tec Argo V

[Ron Zond]

Hi Save


Yes I like the Argo RX. It is better than the FT 100. Good contest rig. The
DSP filters, in combo with passband tuning, work quite well. The narrower
that the DSP filter is set, the better peaking effects with the passband
tuning. I use the rig in CW contests with good results. I even handle
traffic with the ig on CW. If you are a SSB person, I suggest a high
antenna, and a small amp. I have a Yaesu FL-110, which will do 200 watts CW
or SSB. The rig will drive any of the popular amps to 250 watts or more.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for your message. I just hope I am not expecting the IF DSP rigs
to do miracles.

In case you had/have a Argo V, do you like the receiver? I had asked the
list a few weeks back about the receivers in the Corsair II (I have one now)
and the Argo V (might get one soon). I wish I had the TS-570DG to compare
side by side with the Corsair II. Alas, the Kenwood has been sold. The
Corsair
seems mighty nice, so far.

Thanks, again to all.

73, Dave NR3E

The Argo V does fine copying SSB sigs down to about 1100Hz bandwidth. For
CW, using the DSP filters in concert with Pass Band Tuning gives good
results. 

Adjacent signals do not block a weak signal, but using the filters with PBT
will usually work satisfactorily. Good luck with whichever you choose.
