[TenTec] Jones filters

[Bwana Bob]

I had a similar experience. I didn't realize until my Scout was out of 
warranty that the filter was a little off. I paid Ten Tec to fix it and 
its fine now.

For its simplicity and the fact that the two filters in the Scout total 
only 9 poles, it works fine.

The Scout was designed for low cost and simplicity. Its not a contest 
radio... except for Field Day!
