[TenTec] Scout Discontinued!

[Eric Sluder]

That's a disappointment, but the market is tight on mobile rigs.
Considering Ten Tec's wonderful introduction into DSP software technology I
did have a dream of getting rid of my 706MKII in my Jeep and replacing it
with a Ten Tec DSP rig so I'd be
ALL Ten Tec!
