Mike, I have had all those rigs and still have my Argosy II. Others
I've sold.
The Argosy II has the best of both worlds. Digital readout (with the
option of
turning off the display for battery operation). Also has 50 watts out
and the
qrp switch on the back for 5 watts out max and the alc runs in qrp mode.
Hands down the argosy wins with me everytime. It's your decision but my
opinion.
Hope this helps, good luck and keep ten tec'n......
