[TenTec] Argosy in sick bay

[dlazar at telusplanet.net]

   Hi All:
   I wonder if any on the list can spot the fault in my Argosy non digital. I have never had the manual or a schematic for it so from this end it's all fairly tough.
   1. The rx seems ok except the band to band gains/ noise (on the dummyload) seem all wrong showing s6 on 80 etc and lower as you switch to 10m.
   2. On tx the qrp setting now only puts out 2w (by the TT meter and the Bird too). The 50w setting seems close to 50 keydown, on say 20m, but on the 80m pos the rig kicks off the TT pwr supply to overloaded . Seems to draw too much current.  SSB seems to have the same effect. Sure hate to see the TT go but no luck so far. Any ideas on a fix??
