I don't understand your question but will give you some information that may
help.
The Hercules 444 amplifier was made with provision for automatic
bandswitching from the Ten-Tec Omni-C (and perhaps earlier Omni) rigs. I do
not know about the earlier Omni's. The information provided by the rig was
just a contact to ground for the band selected, and was available on the
rear panel of the Omni-C in a big molex-type connector.
The same band information was available on the Corsair, but NOT on the
Corsair II.
So far as doing anything to the rig from a computer, I would think all you
can do with a Corsair II or earlier rig, you can do with your Argosy --
except, you could take the information that drives the digital display and
perhaps make use of it. You cannot do bandswitching, etc., on a Corsair II
or earlier rig from a computer.
Does that help?

Subject: [TenTec] Least $$ TT for Contesting?

| Hi All,
|
| I use a TT Argosy with 1.9 kHz SSB filter and the audio filters for most
of
| my contesting (other rig is a Wilderness Sierra). The software is TR-Log
in
| an old 486/25 laptop. I am only semi-serious with big contests, i.e. I
will
| only put in a ~12 hour effort for Sweepstakes. But for shorter QRP
contests
| and spirnts I sometimes do the whole thing.
|
| My question is, what is the least expensive TT used rig that will allow
| connection to my old laptop computer. I would really like to have band
| changes logged automatically for instance. If I read the TT archive site
at
| QSL.NET right, it appears to be the Corsair II. Is this the one?
