New Ten-Tec 516 Argonaut V discussion group:

Hello all,

I have created a discussion group for the New Ten-Tec 516 Argonaut V QRP HF transceiver at Yahoo. This e-mail reflector is for owners [whenever the delieveries start this month] (and prospective owners) of the Ten-Tec Model 516 Argonaut V Amateur Radio Transceiver. This list is intended for the sharing of ideas about the Model 516 such as: Use in Amateur Radio, operating questions/suggestions/hints, accessories, setting up operating schedules, the general exchanging of ideas about the 516, and anything else related to the Tec-Tec Model 516 (as well as general fun with this rig). -- Please try to keep posts on-topic. Spam will not be tolerated.

Well,  I'll let you know...

Since I am antenna restricted and EVERYTHING is in the attic, I don't get to play much with antennas.  It's pretty much dipoles for HF.  

But I can buy radios... lots of radios!  'Gonna pick one of these up.  If it is half as nice as the 817, I am sure I will enjoy it.  Sadly, since I live in TN and we have a legislature that can't stop themselves spending, I am going to get nailed on sales tax.

QRP... some folks just don't get it.
