[TenTec] Argonaut VI

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

Yes, I have one on the desk.   I find it to have an outstanding receiver 
with very good handling of QRM with the DSP BW adjustment and PBT 
adjustment.   I find receive audio quality very good with the internal 
speaker.  TX audio reports using the 709A mike and internal speech processor 
are "great audio" and often a report as I switch between radios that the 
Argonaut VI has better sounding transmit audio than my Omni VII.

I use it with N4PY software for computer control and the 712 USB Soundcard 
interface for digital work.  It runs a full 10 watts output on PSK-31 and 
MCW.  The internal speech processor does push the average PEP value up 
nicely without having the audio sound processed or compressed.  On CW the 
keying is clean and fast.

Very simple radio to set-up and operate.   Look at the radio for what it 
is........ because............that's what it is.  The original brochure 
printing shows it to have a VOX feature.  This feature is not present in the 
current firmware.
