Ten Tec did in effect make a single band cw rig. it was also a single
band phone rig, and a mobile rig. It was called the Scout. Small
transceiver, 50 watts, you get one and the module for the band you desire
and kaboom...single band rig. Mount it under the dashboard or on a table
at home.
It sold for around 800 bucks (or less, but in that general price
area). It evidently flopped because they don't make it anymore.
It came out at $495 (with one band module).... and it was produced for over
ten years.... It was a success, I would think.....
Abt 25 yrs ago, TT also made a cw only xceiver. Century 21. I don't
believe it went over all that well either.
It was popular and you see a lot of them on Ebay. It became outdated when
the new WARC bands appeared after 1981.
AND..... you can still get single band TT CW rigs.... (5 watters) from
their T-Kit line.......
Go for it! :-)
