[TenTec] ten tec arguant 5

[Greg S]

Carlos-
I concur completely with your assessment of the receiver in the Argo VI 539! When time allows, I will be testing a theory for an inexpensive 6kc I.F. filter retrofit for the Argo VI.  That will allow even a bit more fidelity on receive for those stations transmitting a , bit wider SSB signal. Ten Tec has the factory 6Kc wide AM filter yet, but I was quoted $150+ carriage. No thanks......  I'll roll my own, or go without.

 Hi Lee,
 
 I have an Argonaut VI at home, and an Argonaut
 V on the way from the US.
 
 The Argonaut VI, taking low level audio from
 the rear DIN connector
 and using an external
 amplified speaker, and tweaking the RF Gain and
 the PBT (I like hearing audio from 100 to 2400
 Hz using the smallest
 amount of RF
 amplification possible) provides the quietest and more
 pleasant audio of all the radios I have / ever
 had. The only one that
 gets close is the K2
 (I have one) and the Corsair II.
 
 But this is just a subjective opinion based in
 my personal
 preferences. The other day I was
 with a guy who had an FT-857D and he
 thought
 it was a great radio.
 
 I
 have been getting rid of my Japanese/Chinese gear and
 buying
 Ten-Tec/Elecraft, so I'm a bit
 biased.
 
 73,
 Carlos VK1EA
