[TenTec] Argo VI

[Carl Moreschi]

I just tried mine here.  The power setting goes from 0 to 10 in 1 watts 
steps.  I don't know how accurate my meter is at very low power but at 
the 1 watt setting it reads 0.2.  At the 10 watt setting it reads 9.8. 
At the 5 watt setting it reads 3.8.

But the power changing is digital and moves in steps.  It may really be 
1 watt at the 1 watt setting and my meter may just not read correctly at 
that level.

I ran my Argo V this weekend in the QRP contest at its low end of 1.5 watts and worked all over US on 20 meters with a dipole.  Would like to run lower power than 1.5 Watts and wonder if anyone has experimented with the Argo VI as far as the low end goes. I know it is advertised at 1-10 Watts. The Argo V is a great little rig and would have been really great with an RF gain control.  However, you can hit the attenuator and back off the gain some which helps.  I do know the Argo VI has an RF gain control which makes it very attractive.  Also, can someone who has used both radios compare them.  Thanks, Jim, K4CFA  PS: Have used the Argo V extensively mobile on 20 meters cw running full power of 20 watts with great results.  The RF gain control on the Argo VI is very seductive.
