I'm hoping that there will continue to be firmware enhancements. My correspondence with John Henry revealed that there were some possible additions to the firmware for the Argonaut VI to make it more
Back when I worked for a Motorola Service Depot, the Big M would charge $65 an hour for my services. As, I recall, I was paid about $7 an hour. This was in 1980. So, since the value of the currency h
That's a heck of a note! I have one and it works extremely well. I guess I will be looking for a used one... Steve WA9JML Good luck....John Bescher, N4DXI Did Ten Tec discontinue the RF Speech Proces
Vibroplex also took over the W7FG manual operation, much to the delight of those of us who like older equipment. I have had Scott refurb and upgrade several of my vibrokeyer paddles, and he does exce
I am looking into hooking up my venerable Argonaut II to my computer logging program. I know it emulates an Icom, but need to know what sort of connector to get for the adapter. I pulled the cover an
I got my new Omni VII yesterday, and let it thaw out overnight. So far, I have discovered that it will not work with the Ten Tec power supply that has worked fine with the Corsair II for years. But i
In the past year I have bought a new Argonaut VI and a new Omni VII. I am very happy with both radios. I would not consider any of the Orions because they do not cover my favorite band, 6 meters. The
I have been following this thread with both interest and trepidation. It appears that in order to be competitive, a station needs a high end computer, that can run software for logging, scanning the
When I worked 2 Meter AM in the 1960s, I normally used a Heath Twoer. No need for a panadapter with one of those! 73, Steve WA9JML You are right, no one needs a panadapter, but it can be handy.. My o
It will if you can make sure that the Delta II puts out no more than about 5 watts. During the last sunspot peak, I managed to work all continents with my Argonaut II, and one of these 1208 transvert
I just ordered an Omni VII, but will be keeping my Corsair II and external VFO. The radio has simply incredible performance with a few quirks. I bought an Argonaut VI to get some idea of how good a n
This ought to be fun! I fired up the Argonaut VI, my LDG autotuner, and did the best I could with 10 watts to my backyard trap vertical. I managed to work quite a few of the stations, and had a lot o
I still have my HW-7, but much prefer my Argonauts. I did manage to work W1AW/KL7 with the Argonaut VI and my trap vertical on 20 Meter CW. That was quite a thrill. During the last F2 peak, I managed
I don't have any particular interest in a computer operated radio. But, I am not a top notch DXer or contester, either. To my mind, the best compact radio format was that of the Argonaut II/Delta II.
I had a computer crash several months ago, and wound up having to upgrade to Windows 7 and install a new hard drive. I wound up losing all of my old e-mails in the process, and was stuck with Yahoo m
I have had excellent results from USPS Priority Mail. I have yet to have anything mangled, and they tend to be pretty price competitive. I once bought a nice used Tek scope that came wrapped with abo
I have had great results from using Mike's Amp Keyer with my Argonaut II and my boatanchor 6 meter setup. I use the Amp Keyer to switch the coax relay, and also the transmit connections on the back o
While I was waiting patiently for Ten Tec to come out with a Corsair III, the meter light in my Corsair II blew out. Rather than drive to Rockford to buy a new lamp, I decided to try replacing it wi
I use a 715 with my Corsair II, Argonaut II and Argonaut VI. It works great! Might the problems you are seeing be related to impedance matching? There are a number of people here on the list who are
