[TenTec] Argo 509 and VFO ?

[jones_winston at bellsouth.net]

The Argo 509 never had an external VFO made for it.  I'm not real familiar with the circuitry, but it might 
be possible to adapt the Model 242, made for the Triton, to use with the 509. It would require putting an 
octal accessory socket on the back of the 509, as used on the Triton and doing some rewiring to get 
the right connections. The circuits in the 509 are similar to the Triton I and II. The 509 just doesn't have 
the higher power finals. Might be an interesting conversion, but for someone with far more expertise 
than me.
