[TenTec] Argo V receive messed up

[Stuart Rohre]

For ease of diagnosing your receiver problem, I would temporarily NOT use 
the long wire, but instead, make up a simple half wave dipole for 20m and 
test with that.

If you still have problems receiving with this front end overload you seem 
to be describing, you have definitely have something set wrong or have a 
problem.

Carefully review the instructions for suggested setting of the various 
controls.  Then, if you still have the problem immediately call Ten Tec for 
advice.  They are quite good at diagnosing and suggesting tests over the 
phone.  They may be able to ship you a board to replace something amiss.  As 
a last resort, you can ship it back to them for quick service.

My Argonaut V has been excellent in strong signal situations at Field Day 
and can operate next to other 100 watt FD stations feeding large gain 
antennas with NO RFI problems, even on the same band.  (IE one station in CW 
end, and other in phone end.)
