[TenTec] Argosy I "Thump"

[Mike Hyder -N4NT-]

I had a protracted exchange with a fellow whose Argosy was bothered by 
broadcast band transmissions.  His trouble may have been from the 
standard AM broadcast band.  He resolved the trouble by adding a filter 
ahead of his Argosy.  He got it from ICE ( 
http://www.iceradioproducts.com/filtersrf.html ).  I believe the one he 
got was one of the last ones on the linked page.

| Sorry, didn't realize it had been answered a couple of
| times.  I also have been basing my mods on the posted
| link; the recieve seemed pretty good, although it may
| need some more work: Was qso'ing the other night on
| 7.113, when the noise floor suddenly jumped.  A few
| minutes later it was practically S9, and then I
| realized a SWBC had come on.  I'm guessing the rise in
| noise was from a "dead" carrier before the audio came
| up, probably on 7.115.
|
| Anyhow, an RF gain mod would be good tack in, once I
| get it back on frequency.
