[TenTec] Some advice, please

YES OF COURSE LEE, I forgot about the Argo6.
It definitely is good, but unfortunately it costs more than $1000 over here.
Or at least it did.
We'll see what price it comes back in at.

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,
