[TenTec] Argosy

[Rick - NJ0IP / DJ0IP]

I had this problem in my Triton 2.
Well a similar problem.
Sometimes the audio would go dead.

Using the eraser end of a pencil, I tapped around on all of the components
of the audio board until I found a section of the board which seemed to
cause it to go on and off if I tapped it.

I removed the board and re-soldered everything near and in that area.
The problem was solved.
I can't say which component actually had the cold solder joint, but at least
it now works.

My Argosy has developed an annoying problem.  The audio level (I think) 
goes to or approaches zero.  If I repower, audio returns to normal until 
it happens again.  As I am using it primarily for QRP and running 5 
watts I don't know - can't tell if it is affecting output.

I am open to suggestions regarding where I can start poking.  It has 
both a standard 220 SSB crystal filter as well as the audio cw filter 
but the problem seems to occcur regardless if either or none of the 
filters are selected.
