Love mine, use it in the car in the winter and on the boat in the
summer. Nice simple and it works!

I have seen very few comments regarding SCOUT problems. In the past there
were a few discussions about that annoying hiss and a few requests on how to
turn the Scout into an ARGO (556) thru a castration process (smile). Since I am
not a speed demon on CW the keyer is not a problem. Heck I guess you would
call it more of a "drawl." I have had mine several years with no problems to
date (knock on wood). I was curious if others have had that much good luck?
What I love is the simplicity of operation and I am one that feels menus
belong in restaurants (grin) so equally love the fact it is a knob turner radio.
With a flick of the wrist it is either QRP or QRO (unlike the ARGO). Actually
I guess it is a TWEENER. You can operate between QRP and QRO (100 watts)
since max is about 50 watts.
I did go high-tech in purchasing an LDG Z-11 ATU. Having a full set of
modules, PS, and mobile bracket makes it a nice general purpose radio. So any
other SCOUT USERS?
