Argonaut V, Model 516 HF Transceiver The Argonaut V is classed as a QRP transceiver, although some QRP purists would not consider it as such, since it has about 20 watts output. It covers 160 thru 10 meters, including the WARC bands and the 5 MHz band. It has a general coverage receiver from 500 to 30,000 kHz . It features AM, SSB, CW and FM with 35 IF-DSP receive filters built-in. This radio has a meter and an LED display. The rear panel has a large heat sink. This Argonaut V has the 308A fan and cable kit installed. In many ways, this transceiver is similar to the TenTec Jupiter, but without the 100 Watt amplifier. It is a very easy to use rig, with out the need for 1000 menus. The LED readout goes to the hertz, i.e. it will read 7.255.000. It is relatively small, making it ideal for portable operation. This one works 100%. It looks the same. I can not find a scratch or defect of any sort on it. Power cord and paper work are included for $500. . . TenTec 705 Desk Microphone The 705 desk mic is the standard desk mic used with the Argonaut above. It has a 4 pin plug wired for TenTec on it. It has an electret mic element that has great frequency response. Two are available. One is new, still in its original box, only removed to verify its operation. $85 The second is out of the box, but still looks fine, and of course operates fine. With paper work for $70. . . TenTec 307 B Speaker This is the black speaker used with most TenTec rigs. This one works fine and looks like new. No scratches or defects. Paper work is included for $85. . . Gap "Hear It" Speaker: The Gap "Hear It" is a compact speaker with digital signal processing to reduce or eliminate noise. This speaker greatly improves signal to noise ratio and speech clarity. It can be used for AM, FM or SSB voice signals. This innovative product was developed in England and is available now in the USA. A front mounted bi-color LED lets you know when the speaker is drawing power (red) and when it is processing (green). The rear panel features a control used to set the eight levels of noise cancelling. It also has the DC input jack for the required 12-28 VDC at 500 mA. An audio lead is included (3.5 mm mini mono plug). This device comes with a DC power cable, or you can purchase a "Wall Wart" for operation from AC for an extra $10. It uses a convenient "Gimble Mount". This one works fine and looks like new. These sell for about $170 new. Buy this one for only $110. . . Medium Current 13 V DC Power Supplies: All work fine, and look fine. They will furnish enough current for the Argonaut V above. Pyramid PS-7 regulated supply 7 amp supply, modified with a large heat sink on the top cover $25 Staco RPS-6, 6 amp regulated power supply Ideal for 25 watt VHF or dual band rigs. $30 Stinger 6 amp regulated power supply Similar to RPS-6 above. $30 . . Astron RS-20 A, 20 amp Power Supply: This is a bit of over kill for the Argonaut V, but it will give plenty of excess current capacity. The Astron RS-20 A is a very common power supply around most ham shacks. It provides 13 V DC for many ham rigs. Features: Solid State Electronically Regulated Fold-Back Current Limiting Protects Power Supply from ...excessive current & continuous shorted output Crowbar Over Voltage Protection Excellent Regulation & Low Ripple at low line input voltage. Heavy Duty Heat Sink Chassis Mount Fuse Three Conductor Power Cord Specifications: Input Voltage 105-125Vac Output Voltage 13.8Vdc (internally Adjustable 11-15V) Ripple Less than 5mV peak-peak (full load & low line) Continuous Duty 16 Amps; ICS 20 Amps Size 5" x 9" x 10-1/2" This particular supply works great. It only varies 0.01 Volts with a load! Cosmetically it looks great. With paper work for only $65. . . Caras Manufacturing Magnetic Loop Antenna System: The HF-315 is a magnetic loop antenna that is ideal for portable operation. It breaks down so that it can be carried in a backpack. All of the various parts together weigh under 3 pounds. It is just under 3 feet in diameter. It covers from 3 to 15 MHz, which of course includes the 75/80, 40, 30, and 20 meter ham bands as well as the 5 MHz band. Power handling capabilities is limited to 25 Watts PEP, or 10 Watts continuous carrier (CW) due to the special tuning box that is included with the unit. More details are at http://doxytronics.com/ This one is new, never assembled. These sell new for about $140. Buy this one for only $80. . . MFJ-949 E HF Antenna Tuner: The MFJ 949 E tuner has a "cross needle" SWR bridge built into it, so one can read both forward power, reflected power, and SWR at the same time. The meter has a switched back light, assuming 12 Volts is applied to the tuner. The wattmeter portion will read either 30 W or 300 W full scale, either peak or average power. An antenna switch will switch between either balanced line, two coax antennas, or an internal dummy load. Antennas can be operated thru the tuner, or the tuner can be bypassed. This tuner will operate on 160 thru 10 meters, including the WARC bands. This particular unit works 100%. It looks extremely nice. I can not find a scratch on it. It is probably new, as it is still in its original box, but has been tested. Paper work is included for $110. Wall wart 12 V DC power supply for above. $10 . . I also have many other accessories available such as many different types of microphones, HTs, VHF and UHF rigs, HF and VHF/UHF antennas, connectors, miscellaneous accessories, etc. Just too many to list here.
