[TenTec] Scout band module extraction

[John Garrett]

OK, so I'm a clumsy brute - I broke the extraction lever on my Scout's 80m 
band module trying to extract it.  After looking at what could be causing 
the module to stick so tightly I discovered it was the solder on the edge 
connector.  My 80 and 40m modules had quite a lot more solder on the 
connector tracks than those on the other band modules (particularly on the 
ground track) and were obviously jamming in the socket within the main 
unit.  Quickly running the soldering iron down the connector tracks with 
the board held track-end upwards cleared the surplus solder and now the 
modules can be extracted quite smoothly and easily.

Hope that may help prevent other Scout users breaking their extractor 
levers.

Cheers and 73 de John, G3RHP
