[TenTec] Field Day GOTA Station - Scout Drifting!

[Mail]

Hi Bill and Ron:

       I also have two Scout 555's and one 556.  I have had no problem with
drift
just monitor the voltage supply, and replaced the fuse holders with auto
blade
type fuses.  The voltage drop in the power cord can be a problem.  Great
portable radio's.  Label the Cw off set for the dial on the modules and go.
