[TenTec] Scout Problem found, But... -Reply

[Paul Plasters]

At the Sterling Illinois Hamfest yesterday, I saw a foot key.  It was brand
new in the box, so some one is making a device to use in case you break
your hands? There is probably a story behind this, how ever I did not
ask.  73 Paul WA9FFL

Yep!  It was the pot (R-21) on the LLD/ALC board.  Ten Tec is sending
me
a replacement part as the local suppliers didn't have anything with the
same "footprint" on hand.

Now, my only question is "If I didn't kick the rig when it failed, how
did I end up with a stress fracture in my left foot?"  I had the time to
troubleshoot the rig because I am laid up at least thru Monday with this.

You want some fun?  Drive to the clinic in a car with a 5-speed and run
the clutch with a broken left foot!  At least I can still run the pump
handle on my key this weekend!
