[TenTec] Let's talk "about" the radios: Scout

[Mike Bryce]

Rick,

I can’t confirm that one, but I can tell you that there are two versions of finals for the scout.

one pcb used bipolar devices and the other one FETs.

Neither one is exceptionally hard to get to.

I’d do some more testing before assuming anything. The PA in the scout are rather hardy.
