In my recent QRP rig comparison I omitted the Ten-Tec Argonaut VI.
By all accounts and reviews this is a CLASSY little HF radio, with very good performance figures in a neat and simple desktop design. People have compared its performance to the Elecraft K2,although it is considerably smaller. Size wise it is little larger than the FT817ND. The major drawbacks in the UK are price(see below) and the lack of 60m, 12m and 6m coverage. (No 2m or 70cm coverage too). If these are not important considerations and you want a small
desktop QRP radio then the Argonaut VI may be worth considering.
See

and

In the UK Waters and Stanton supply this rig, but the current price is
£999.95, which is very expensive compared with its competitors, even though a very nice transceiver.
