Yes Ron, I'm a very happy Argonaut V owner as well as a Century 22
owner. I bought the Century 22 in the 80's and it's still going. I
guess I should have been more direct in my original email and just said
that I am disappointed in the price increase. What it boils down to is
this: For quite a while now I have been thinking about buying a
Jupiter. I've also been looking at the K2 and thinking about that.
They are both fine radios and the K2 has a very large following and it's
receiver has become legendary. I probably should say that I operate a
lot of QRP. Now that their is a price increase with the Jupiter, it
makes the K2 look even more appealing. But, not only that it broadens
the playing field with the Icom 746 Pro which I was once looking at.
So, now I'm back where I first started months ago trying to decide which
direction to go. Well, maybe not exactly the same place. I know all the
pro's and con's of each rig since I have had plenty of time to
research. So, that's why I'm disappointed and maybe a little
frustrated. They aren't making it easy! But, hey, sometimes you just
got to let them know how you feel.:-)

I think Ten Tec makes great radios and I already
own two of them so, I know first hand. It is a fine company and I have
experienced that too. All I'm doing is expressing my disappointment and my
feeling of uneasiness in the future of one of their products. Hey, the stock
market runs on the emotions of the investors as every little thing sets it
off. :-) This is no different.
