Yes, I don't see the value in 160 meters for a low-power or portable rig
, but maybe there are QRP possibilities on the band. I'd like to see
60 meters. I never hear any activity on 12 meters. Oh, and must look
mil-spec (even if it isn't) like the now-discontinued ICOM 7200, with
side handles front speaker and keyboard frequency entry....

Hi,
I was rather vocal of the Argonaut VI. Part of my criticism concerned
adding 160 meters and skipping 12 meters. I know the why for both.
Perhaps I could have handled the concept better if it had only 3 or 5
bands. I don't know, but it just seemed odd that 160 meters would be
so important in a 10 watt radio.
Any body think it might be kind of cool if the Argonaut 7at became a
simpler, but direct competition for the KX3? Hmmmm, how about if the
box was a smaller version of the box for the 515?

I am mostly a casual operator here, so my Corsair II is more than
adequate for my needs. I am more interested in what happens to the
Argonaut line. I have had excellent performance with my Argonaut VI
and my 6 meter transverter and Mirage brick amplifier. I just
ordered 6 and 2 meter transverters from Down East Microwave to
replace my Elecraft units. So, I may spring for a new Argonaut when
Ten Tec gets them back into production.
