[TenTec] Scout has vy low Pwr out on some bands

Actually, the Q-Tip will likely leave fibers behind.  When I do a repair here I do an inspection 
with a 20 X inspection microscope to check soldering, card edge connectors and anything 
else important.  I formerly used Q-Tips for cleaning but after looking at the finished job thru 
the microscope that was the end of Q-Tips.  I went to a small brush as Ken suggests.  If a 
bristle falls off you can likely see that with the naked eye.
