[TenTec] from a Scout to ???

[Carl Hyde]

I agree with Caitlin and also offer up the Omni D Model C.  That radio was
my first TT and I will never sell it.  Delta II is highly recomended,
Especially if you anticipate using a computer with it, its the only TT rig
you'll find under $1K that will allow computer control.
