[TenTec] Another retro question - Argosy-Century

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

One feature that impressed me with the Argosy was the back panel switch to
switch between 50w and 5w.
When switched to 5w, the PA was completely turned off, which means it draws
current much like any other 5w radio would.

This is much better than simply turning the power down on a higher power
rig.
This really increases batter life.

I liked reading all the opinions about the Corsair revisited (modern version
of corsair).

I don't have a long history with ten tec and was not a ham in the 80s, but
now own two ten tec rigs and am thinking about another. I've learned a lot
just being on this reflector and am glad to be part of this community.

I see the Century 21 and Argosy (analog versions) as such different rigs
made during the same years. For those that owned or used them (for cw), how
would you compare them?
