[TenTec] TT Mega Sale

[Bob McGraw - K4TAX]

This point regarding the Argonaut VI band coverage was discussed prior to 
product release and several times during beta testing.  I recall being told 
"this is a management decision".  Apparently there were marketing reasons, 
technical reasons or physical space reasons the bands were not included.

My take and experience, the Argonaut VI has one of the best receivers on the 
market and absolutely the cleanest and best receive audio of any radio I've 
evaluated.
