I do not need an an Argonaut V. I was was interested in a very basic
(primitive)low cost receiver that would take advantage of the existing
processing capability that most people have. Something better than the cheapest
kits that TT has at the present.
I teach classes on radio theory and construction. My students learn the
basics of radio and build not only kits but their own projects that they
design. Good VFOs are difficult for beginners. An inexpensive package with the
local oscillators (PC controlled) mixers and some simple filters are all they
need to bread board a number of different instruments. And using their home PC
as a low frequency IF processor helps keep it within their budgets.

Subject: Re: [TenTec] great RX320 review
Why not save yourself a lot of time and effort by purchasing an Argonaut V?
Combine that with Carl's, or similar control, software and your laptop computer
and you are good to go. The Argonaut has a very good receiver. I have not
compared the specs but based on my observations and recollections I would say
the Argo has a better receiver than the RX-320. Just my opinion on the matter.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do. 73, Bill
