I just got my Argo V and it is a lovely radio. It's just the right size, and 15 watts (where I run it) is plenty of power for ragchewing (which is all I do) on CW.

The fellow who was complaining about prices -- well, if you're buying Ten Tec, you probably don't care much about that.

My only complaint is that the receiver has too much gain for the AGC to handle (at least on my unit), so I
have to run the attenuator.

Having had 2 817's, I would guess that this radio is 4 times the FT817 with regard to any criterion.

Good job in my view. Actually, in 51 years of hamming, most of the many rigs I've work pretty much equally well, for my purposes.
