Paul,

I've had my Argonaut V for more than 2 years and use it mostly on CW.  The 
receiver is very good indeed, especially for the price.  On CW it runs rings 
around the IC-706MkIIG that I borrowed before getting the Argo.  It's not in the 
same league as my Orion II, but after two years with it I can say that if you 
can't copy a station with the Argo V, you wouldn't have been able to work it 
with 20 watts anyway.  A great fringe benefit is the ease of interfacing it to 
your computer for RTTY and PSK.  No need for an interface box; the TT audio 
cable works just fine, as long as you set the computer volume levels properly.

No, I can't compare it with Elecraft as I never had one.

73,
