[TenTec] Argonaut VI and 418

[Lee WA3FIY]

Thank you for the suggestion Jim,

I have given the Eagle some consideration over the past few months.  That appears to be a 
fine radio and I may go that way but I like the size, operating voltage range and power drain 
of the Argonaut VI and the ability to get to 100 watts if needed (rarely) by adding the 418.  I 
have never made a contact on 60 or 12 so I won't miss those.  The Argonaut VI receiver 
appears to be identical to the Eagle in most areas according to the specs.   Kinda' looking for 
a modern Scout!   So...I'm just waiting for some more field reports

73 es Happy New Year,

-Lee-
