[TenTec] Best HF Travel Rig

[Chad Lovelace]

I had a argosy 525d a while back I took to my folk place was great -- small and 50 watts was good with a straight key didn't have a mic with it simple dipole and a small mfj tuner I was able to hit some islands in the Atlantic and heard plenty of south America -- I also had a tt scout with a bunch of modules that was easy to carry around was a le to put it in a soft side tool bag I had. For power I had a small mfj mity power supply -- it was small and 20 amps was plenty of power -- wish I would have kept those to have now when I go to my folks place I don't really want to carry around my ft847 and the bigger tuner -- I could do it but that would mean I would have to put every thing in a large pelican case and it takes up too much room -- other than my rockmite and a cut dipole thats only what I carry now and it goes in my go bag I carry every day -- a Kata photo bag ( looks like a backpack with some dividers to keep things organized ) and I have room for my iPad and wifi is just about everywhere I can use that as my log, spots and qrz lookups 

I'm still on the hunt for either a tt scout a ic703 or an argosy 525d I think I could get them in my gobag 

Good luck on finding what you can take to your farm !!

I guess I could take one of the rigs I have here, but I am reluctant to leave a rig in the house because it has been broken into. I am just wondering if several people might like to suggest a good rig to take along. Small is good, but meduim size with an internal supply would be nice. It must be a good CW rig. Low priced would be good. I like Ten Tec, but any brand works.
