Quite a few of you have made statements that you don't like the Scout
because it has problems during high speed CW contacts. I do good to send
a readable 20 wpm and read a decently sent 18 wpm and I know I am not

this by hand or with the help of a computer? 40 wpm off my TT 607 paddle
would probably give my arm whiplash.
