I agree. I had one and sorry I sold it. The Argonaut V has a very quiet
receiver.

Subject: Re: [TenTec] Opinions wanted please about getting a second qrp rig
I wouldn't consider a Scout because:
Old rig and you say you have trouble doing repair work Band modules are a
pain to handle/store - also getting harder to find.
Old technology
Jumps around in frequency
You said you wanted QRP - it is 50w and a real power hog.
Better TT choice is the Argo V - get one used in the $600 - $650 range.
They are pretty expensive new. It is a current production rig with good
DSP
filtering, 20w, very easy to hook up for PSK. I have one and love it.
If you want real QRP you could look for an assembled Elecraft K1/K2/KX1.
