[TenTec] re Scout...the VW bug

[Ron Notarius WN3VAW]

Every time I read part of this thread, I keep remembering The One That Got Away.

A few years ago at the annual Breezeshooter's Hamfest, an indoor vendor had a Scout and modules sitting in a box beneath his table.  A lot of people ignored it, myself included.  Finally someone asked him about it... he indicated that it had been given to him as a non-working unit (no receive) and that he was asked to "get rid" of it.  That someone immediately bought it for a small sum, about $50 if I remember.

What was wrong with it?  The internal wiring behind the coax connector was off.

*sigh* I've GOT to learn to ask the right questions at the right time!

Guys,
      A serious Scout person will have a dedicated  Scout for each band 
worked as I do.  One for 20ssb and one for 30 cw.   Do not worry anymore about 
where the modules are.  LOL.
