[TenTec] Argonaut V or Jupiter

[Wayne Whitman]

Kirk, I have never used the Jupiter so I can't comment on it.
I have had an Argonaut since last August and it is wonderful.
I won't compare it to my Orion II since they are rather different
animals, but
I can tell you that the Argonaut is a real joy to use.  It does overload
a bit
when you get very close, very strong signals, but other than that, for
casual dxing
or ragchewing, it is a great rig.

73,
