I ftpd the PAD files and was able to unzip them okay. However, when I tried to install them, I got an error measge that the install program could not open a file. It did not tell me what file, it just went back to the DOS window. Has anyone had a similar problem? If so, what was the cure?
Thanks

I think PADS is the program that you need to unzip and make install disks out
of. I worked it out myself what the install disks should look like (some
of the files should be in subdirectories on the install disks) to get it
to work. Since I'm reading during lunch, I'll find out what I did
and email it to you sometime this weekend. Warning! I only worked this
out for the schematic capture and library diskettes. I didn't
even bother with the board layout. Easytrax (same ftp place as PADS)
does a really good job of laying out thru-hole boards w/ no support
for surface mount. :-( I never ran into any limit for interconnections
with it like I did with PADS. It didn't take much to hit the limit
with the PADS demo.

Subject: Wanted: Argosy II manual and options
Sender: qrp-admin@Think.COM
Precedence: bulk
I bought a Argosy 2 (525D) at a flea market earlier in the year and am now
getting around to playing with it. Its a fine rig but it was missing some
options and a manual.
I called Ten Tec they still can supply xtal filters (which match their
current products):
For the optional additional filter:
217 500Hz CW 8 pole
218 1.8kHz SSB 8 pole
219 250Hz CW 8 pole
To replace the standard 4 pole filter:
220 2.4KHz SSB 8 pole
These retail for $79 each (call 800 833 7373).
My rig has the 4 pole SSB and an 8 pole CW (probably 500Hz by the sound of
it). I will probably put replace the 4 pole filter with a 220 filter.
They also have a xerox of the manual for $20 (which is a bit much). Does
anyone else have a copy of the manual they can xerox for me or loan me.
I'll pay your costs (it must be less than $20 :-).
I'm also on the lookout for the noise blanker and audio filter boards. I
guess the former is more important than the latter, as I have a few ideas
for AF filters. I realise this is very poor odds but ya gotta try! TenTec
don't keep back stock (just a few for board swap repairs).
I'll be at the Apple Developers conference next week, so I may not reply
for some time if I don't get your message before 5pm PDT.

In the UK these chips can be obtained in single quantities from
Quarndon Electronics phone +44 332 32651
Slack Lane fax +44 332 360922
Derby DE22 3ED
Six months ago the cost was 7.59 pounds + VAT (tax) of 17.5% each.
The British Amateur Radio Teledata Group (BARTG) can supply a PCB
and construction details for a switched capacitor tunable audio
passband filter based on these chips. I've not built it yet
myself but it's supposed to do great things for CW/RTTY reception.

I had the same problem. You need to extract each of the "zip" files onto
its own floppy diskette using the "-d" option. That option will preserve
the directory structure which is in the "zip" files. Then you can install
the diskettes one at a time - I did the schematic capture first, then the
libraries, and then the PCB programs. Good luck ...
