[TenTec] re Scout...the VW bug

[Rob Atkinson, K5UJ]

<<<Not everyone loved the VW bug nor will everyone appreciate the Scout. It  
is
a basic but effective radio and gets the job done. Like the Beetle, folks
will tinker with mods but when the day is over the basic model is the most
desired. I do find it rather amazing how folks with no experience with a
particular radio are always first to offer criticism or their "expert" 
advice.  >>>

thanks for a laugh to start the day.   You don't need to own a rig when the 
design flaw is so obvious it is front panel ridiculous.   Let's see here, 
where did I put the darn 40 m. module?   I'd better order 3 for each band 
just to make sure I have one when I need it.   Modules all over the back 
seat of the car....what about in the house?   What do you Scout owners 
do--stack all your modules in a single column on the table?   I think when 
you get done paying for all the modules, the price of the Scout becomes a 
kilobuck rig.   How hard is it to unplug one of those things--do you have to 
bolt the rig to the desktop--wouldn't you rather have had a bandswitch?   
Hey kids, those modules aren't toys--quit throwing them at your mom.    
darn, 10 m. just opened up and I can't find the blasted module...oh here it 
is, propping up a corner of the coffee table....

hey, get one of those SGC mini-linis then you can have even more module 
fun--get them for all bands and double your modules.
