Re: [TenTec] TT 580 Delta

Rick,

While the Argosy and Delta had the same "look", there was considerable 
difference internally. The Argosy was an offshoot of the Argonaut/Triton 
single conversion 9 MHz IF setup, while the Delta used a unique (at least to 
Ten-Tec) dual conversion scheme with a tuneable first IF of 11-11.5 MHz and 
second IF at 6.3 MHz. The broad first IF may account for your 40M BCI issues.

73, Al
