Posted by: Steve, W9HC Posted On: 05/20/02 Subject: New Argonaut V...I like this one! Message Posted: The Ten Tec both was buzzing as always, but with something new for QRPers this year. Although a touch pricey, the new Argonaut V (for August'02) will offer up to 30 watts out (or less) and a nice array of options. $795 is tall, but hey, it's a Ten Tec. It is software driven and is thus online-upgradable. It is as small as a CB and looks to be well-made. It is designed for digital modes as well as the "old ways." My only regret, as I told TT, was that the name "Argonaut" doesn't appear on the front panel (at least not yet). Yeah, I know, it's sentimentality. Might this signal my surrender of my trusty Argo 515? Not likely. But given the small size, I think I'll be able to find room. TT said they are taking orders for mid-August delivery. Did any of you other ops see it? What did you think?
