[TenTec] Scout HISS-terectomy?

[ARDUJENSKI at aol.com]

I had archived this note regarding the SCOUT background HISS remedy. I  
contacted TEN TEC this morning and was told there is no real "fix" for the  
processor hiss. Using high impedance headset helps some. I was curious if any  have 
made this mod and if it is effective.

Thanks Stuart  and others who answered....

My good friend Don Prouty at T/T told me this  morning that the cure involves
adding .001ufd to ground from pin 7 of the  audio output chip U-5, which is a
TDA-2611, 9-pin SIP.  I passed this  info to the owner of the Scout, who
immediately did the mod, and now reports  a great improvement.

More of that GREAT TenTec service!  Thanks,  guys.
