Every time I read part of this thread, I keep remembering The One That Got Away.
A few years ago at the annual Breezeshooter's Hamfest, an indoor vendor had a
Scout and modules sitting in a box beneath his table. A lot of people ignored
it, myself included. Finally someone asked him about it... he indicated that
it had been given to him as a non-working unit (no receive) and that he was
asked to "get rid" of it. That someone immediately bought it for a small sum,
about $50 if I remember.
What was wrong with it? The internal wiring behind the coax connector was off.
*sigh* I've GOT to learn to ask the right questions at the right time!

Guys,
A serious Scout person will have a dedicated Scout for each band
worked as I do. One for 20ssb and one for 30 cw. Do not worry anymore about
where the modules are. LOL.
