Ten Tec Argonaut V

[W3WN]

Anyone interested in a Ten Tec Argonaut V that's in need of a little TLC?

I picked this rig up a few months ago, intending to use it for PSK and other digital modes, plus using it to drive a transverter for 6 meters. It's seen light use, since the intended antenna for it hasn't been put up yet... which is another story.

What's changed? I've been given the opportunity to acquire a Ten Tec Omni VII. I should be taking possession of it tomorrow... and once that happens, the Argonaut V will probably do little more than sit on the shelf and look pretty.

Now, fair warning: The rig has a problem on the output power. It should be about 20 Watts out, I'm only seeing about 5. I have not had a chance to trouble shoot it yet. The original owner told me that John Henry at Ten Tec Service told HIM it was not cost effective to repair... but couldn't find the email explaining what the problem was, and John never got back to me on that. So, ironically enough, it's back to being a true QRP rig "as is".

I'm looking for $100 plus shipping. Price includes mike, factory manual, and the accessory plug in back.

PM me if interested. Thanks!

At least you can listen with a good RX.

Linky from the Wiki...

I've been needing a good quality general coverage rig and I had the money and the stars aligned.
I can slave it to the Corsair that everybody says is a great rig but no one wants to buy.
Even after test driving at a booth, they still think there's something wrong with it. Oh well.



Because sake.
