Can someone tell me good and bad point of a

/The good points are simple to use, easy to read display in
daylight, tune switch (10 watts) and SWR meter, solid VFO - does not
move during mobile or portable, will play all afternoon on battery
power. Adjustable filter from 250 HZ and up.
There is not too many "bad" points; TT explained the drift during CW
mode in manual but I never had a issue with it.
Comments, it's a fun radio to own. You can usually find modules. I
do not find price for radio increased, in fact gone down. (maybe
they watch "echo bravo" bidding) TT sells them reasonably and for
less than they originally sold for and with modules.
The modules are well made and I never had any issues with them for
the years I have owned the Scout. Too bad some are greedy enough to
over-price them when selling, not in spirit of ham radio.
QRZ my call and see pix of Scout station.
