I worked St. Helena Island several years ago on 12 meter CW with my
Argonaut II and a trap vertical.
When it is open, QRP works really well.
I have only made one contact on 160 meters, also with the Argonaut II on
SSB. So, I don't know how well 5 watts will propagate on that band.

That's encouraging. Maybe I'm not listening at the right times or
maybe I need a better antenna. I'll listen more.

I for one have worked a lot of DX on 12 meters on phone and cw.

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.
