Bob:  I have been contemplating a Scout for my mobile rig for some
time now, but have not yet made the move.  One of the delaying
factors has been the notorious freq hop/skip/jump that so many of
the scouts show.   It sounds just like the PTO hop of all the older
Ten Tec rigs that are in need of a bit of TLC on the PTO.  Even so, I
am a big fan of Ten Tec, with 7 of their old rigs on hand.

I would like to see the mod, if it is not too much trouble for you to send
it.
