[TenTec] Argo V on RTTY and PSK

[RaySoifer@cs.com]

I've had an Argo V for almost a year now, and my good experience with it was 
part of what convinced me to go for the O2.  It was updated to 1.08 by TT last 
spring.

I don't operate much SSB, so the thin audio isn't a top priority for me, but 
I agree that it's there, and with both the hand and desk mikes.  On RTTY and 
PSK, I find that I don't need an interface unit at all.  I just use VOX and the 
TT audio cable into my sound card.  It only took a few minutes to adjust the 
levels, using MMTTY and DigiPan.  On CW, the Argo V is a champ.  None of the 
keyer problems that the Orion series has.  Sometimes, simpler is better.  The 
only thing about the Argo V keyer that needs to be mentioned is to watch out 
for static discharges when plugging in keys.  I've lost two chips that way, in 
the heat of battle.

I also had the O2 on RTTY last weekend using the same system.  I had to push 
Aux input way up to 75, but it worked.
