Alan, I've commented on this before on this reflector but
its been some time ago..
I've owned my Scout so long now I can't remember. I've used
it portable on batteries with wire antennas in FD
situations, extensively as a mobile unit in frigid Iowa
winters, "pension mobile" in Germany (DL/WA0ROI) and
Austria (OE2ZBM) with makeshift wire antennas as part of a
"suitcase station".
Never, ever in its life have I had so much as a glitch of
"abnormal" operation. I've had the cover off once .. to
install the noise blanker. So from my view, the "rumors"
are likely "well-covered" complaints of a very few? I
really don't know. I do know that I have nothing but praise
for the unit.
