Argo V and Beyond
The Argonaut 5, the 599 Eagle and 539 Argo VI are a distinct branch of the Ten-Tec product line.

The DSP for the Orion is Analog Devices 21k series floating point, compared to fixed point for other Ten-Tec DSP radios.

I have to chuckle at the effort put into fiction. Honestly, the true story about how this radio came to be is interesting enough without the need to make it up.
