[TenTec] Argo V receive messed up

[HUGHESRO]

Hello My argo 5 was fantastic. What power supply are u using? Is enough voltage getting to the argo. Also I have a astron SS30M switching ps and it eats my jupiter up if it is close by to it. All kinds of funny stuff goes on. I put Jupiter on large battery with a floating charging system and it worked gud as always. The argo 5 also on that to. I hope it gets straighten out as u are missing out of some of the best audio rx there is. Just may help i hope. Let us know how it turns out.  Roger W4iv nr nashville, tn.
