[TenTec] Some advice, please

[Lee]

Rick,  since the Eagle can stand up under European conditions wouldn't 
the Argonaut VI also?  It's under $1K.  It seems the receiver sections 
of Eagle and Argonaut are very similar in design and component 
compliment.  I have both and cannot tell a bit of difference in receiver 
performance.  Of course I don't live in Europe.  :-)   Maybe you are 
only considering radios in current production.   OK.....hoping the 
Argonaut comes back but we will have to wait for that verdict.

73,
