At $995, it doesn't look to be competitive with the KX3, considering: -- the missing 60m and 12m bands -- higher minimum current consumption -- the fact that it probably will need one or more optional filters
I'm as much a Ten-Tec fan as Elecraft, and applaud both firms for producing amateur radio equipment in the US. Hopefully, this radio will have some upgrade appeal to those who have an Argonaut V or earlier Argonaut. I can see someone buying the 539 as a starter radio, then adding the 418 amp if QRP is not to his liking. The sum of the two is said to be almost an Eagle, which I have already. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 11/12/2012 11:18 AM, Dyarnes wrote: > Hi All, > > This info (see link below) was just passed on to me via GQRP-L. > > http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/the-argonaut-vi-is-coming-soon.html > > There are still a lot of missing details, but it's hard for me to see how > this rig competes effectively with the KX3. > > Dave W7AQK > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
