[TenTec] Omni VII, Eagle and Argonaut VI updates

[John]

Gollie

No updates for my Jupiter?   Ah well...It still works.   And there is an 
update for my neat little Argonaut VI....maybe the 418 amp. Now that is 
an improvement of some sort.  Anyone have any experience with the little 
418 100 W amplifier?
