[TenTec] Scout Questions

[Bwana Bob]

ED:

Yes 15 watts in the tune position is correct. On the meter lower scale
there are 3 dots. The left one represents 1:1 SWR. The middle one is 2:1
and the right one (dot is just under the "10" on the forward power
scale) represents 3:1, when the rear panel switch is set for SWR.

Also don't find any reference to this in the manual copy I have. I believe this is a very early Scout and a later manual, according to the previous owner.

In the alignment section of the manual it says to adjust R12 for a 2:1 reading on the meter but gives no indication of how the meter is graduated. No markings on the meter scale.

I have it installed mobile now but needing to do a little more work on the wiring and grounding and mounting. This is my first attempt at HF mobile besides 10M and it seems to be a bit of a challenge. I have never thought about SWR changing at hiway speeds. There I go not thinking again.
