Don, I bought an Argo V last month and is it a really good rig on cw and
psk. I use a Rascal Interface and use that for computer digital modes. The
Argo V has excellent receive audio and is not far behind the Orion in that
respect.
The only problem is the transmit SSb audio is not very good. I have tried
several mikes without much luck, and would like to see some improvement in
this area. The audio is very thin and has no presence at all. The bass is
totally gone with not much mid-range either, mostly highs in the audio.
If anyone knows something that can be done to improve the audio, I would
like to get that information please. I am using 1.08 and I assume the
hardware mod was done as I bought the rig new last month.

I noticed that the critical O2 issues were addressed
in the earlier revisions, and wondered if they had
already been made available by TT. This is highly
important, that these specific issues are finally and
completely put to bed.
I myself placed an order late last night on the Web...
for an Argonaut V and was greeted this morning by an
email that DHL had something to ship today - Yes!
I have noticed that in the years that this radio has
been available, the updates have slowed down to a
trickle (yearly and only maybe one revision). That is
great news to me, it means the product is STABLE,
however the final revision 1.08 required -both- a
firmware and hardware changes. The QST reviewer's
comment that "owners can update their radios to the
latest "model" simply by downloading a file from the
Web," may be a little misleading since any new
features that are added by TT these days are going
into the flagship.
I would not expect any more than this however, not
being on a software subscription - I have gotten what
I paid for.
A year (or two or three) from now Orion may be "done"
with respect to firmware upgrades - that will be my
time to get one!

Was this the first firmware revision available from TT
since 2.025, or were 2.026 and 2.027 also available at
some time?
=====================
It's all in the Firmware Revision History file on the
rfsquared site.
