[TenTec] Argonaut V question

[wa3fiy at radioadv.com]

The lack of RF gain conrol contributes to the problem.  Try switching the 
ATTENUATOR into the circuit.   It will reduce the noise quite a bit but not 
eliminate it.

I use the RFG extensively on my Corsair, Omni VI and other rigs.  It is rare 
to find one of my rigs with the RFG at 100%.

My question: Am I spoiled by my main station rigs the Orion and Omni C?  They are much quieter and easier to listen to.  Am I expecting too much of the V?  Am I not using some control appropriately?  Or is there another smallish rig that will do better?
