[TenTec] One more essential Scout accessory

[Bwana Bob]

Thanks, Alan, I checked the TG Electronics web site. It looks like a 
quality unit. The "boost during transmit" is an excellent feature. I see 
that it can also be set to 15 V for powering a laptop computer. How is 
the quality of construction?

For short excursions with the Scout, I do fine with a 7 amp-hour gel 
cell battery. I run the Scout at 30 watts out. Other tricks to reduce 
voltage drop are to tighten up and clean the power connector and replace 
the spring loaded fuse holder with an automotive blade type fuse holder.
