[TenTec] Darth Vader sounds

[James C. Owen, III]

Hi Larry,
   This is common in the Argosy and others. Been a while since I
had an Argosy II but mine did it also. The muting circuit has a
transistor that turns on when transmitting that takes the
receiver audio to ground. Since an on transistor never has quite
zero resistance it lets a little audio through. I don't know if
there were any mods to take care of this. I just lived with mine.
Too bad the Argosy doesn't have a monitor circuit, if it did you
wouldn't notice this.
