Hi, everyone,
Well, my Argosy 525 station arrived, and the rig is absolutely mint, as in
not a scratch on it. The 225 power supply and 645 keyer are just as nice,
and everything seems to work well. The bad news... the Argosy is
absolutely stock. Not a single option has been added. I'll order the
filters directly from Ten Tec, but here is the list of out of production
items I am now looking for:
215P or 215PC microphone
226 calibrator
224 CW audio filter
223 noise blanker (not the later 223A)
1125 circuit breaker (for mobile/portable use)
Considering how perfect the rig is, I am definitely going to keep it.
However, the overwhelming response to my post about the Argosy vs. the 580
Delta told me that the Delta is the better rig. I am going to be getting
that as well, and I'll see if I agree. The thing is, I really like the
Argosy. We'll see...
73,
Caity
