I've had mine on the air now for a couple of months and I am definately not sorry I bought it. This is one fine QRP box! The receiver is quiet and the adjustable selectivity is wondeful with no ringing. The transmitter is clean on both CW and SSB and I have worked all over the world on less than 5 watts and even to Europe on 1 watt or less on a simple W5GI dipole. The rig is software defined, so upgrades are a snap whenever Ten-Tec offers one.
On the down side, the rig uses a lot of current on receive and the selectivity control only works on receive and not on transmit. Would that it did! There's also a birdie or two, but nothing objectionable.
If you are intrested in QRP, give the Argo a try, You won't be sorry! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
