Having said that, I wounder if there is enough interest in the 525 to warrant establishing a SIG reflector. Nothing like a group of hams getting together and sharing their interest on a particular subject to foster renewed affection. Comments from/on the list are most welcomed or you can post directly to:

Good Morning Joe

Yes I think it would be interesting to have a reflector set up on Those 
Great old Ten Tec Argosys. Our Club station VE7NA got a Omni Db 3 years 
ago that I played around quite a lot those last 3 years I loved the QSK. 
I was offered an Argosy for a real good deal and grabbed it I am 
thrilled at the way this old Ten Tec works. It is a great old rig. I 
have on order a Tyco Hydralic Magnetic Fast Acting Circuit Breaker our 
local Electronics Store is getting for me I will let everyone know how 
that Circuit Breaker works for me.
