I am certain the new 100 amp has been developed due to hundreds, if not 
thousands of requests,
from Argonaut 509 and later QRP models needing a little more oomph at 
times. I am certain
some members know how many QRP models Ten-Tec alone has produced during 
the past
40+ years.

During my early years as a ham in the former Panama Canal Zone 
(1971-1979, then HP1XRK after
the treaty ended KZ5) as KZ5JM, a friend, KZ5OD, bought a #509
Argo and offered to loan it to me after I had installed monobanders for 
10-40 meters. I was really
impressed at 5 watts to a 2 element 40 meter beam working Europeans hand 
over fist!

So I am sure Ten-Tec will quickly sell out the first production run on 
this little amp.
