> I am looking to put an HF rig in my truck. How are the TenTec Scouts as a
mobile? Any other TenTec that are decent mobile radios?
I used one quite a few times doing mobile CW for several 350-mile trips, and
also on long (more than an hour) highway commutes many times. Did just
great (until I stopped doing mobile CW...)
High speed CW can be pretty drifty, but didn't bother me *too* much. SSB
should be fine. Scout lends itself well to mobile use due to its
simplicity.
I can't recommend any other Ten-Tec rig that's as well suited to mobile use.
The classic IC-706 is also a fantastic mobile rig.
Either should do nicely.
