BlankThe most interesting part is that nobody even
realized that I was running only 50 watts! As the rig comes out of the box,
it is factory pre-set at 50 watts, but is externally accessble for 
adjustment
down to the 5-watt area. There is a trick to this, however; when Ten-Tec was
field-testing the Scout, they found that the tune mode could cause fuses to
blow. So before shipping, they re-configured the rig so that the output in
the tune mode was limited. In making this change, however, they restricted
the amount of adjustment possible for operating power output. Ten-Tec has
promised to put out a mods sheet for moving a jumper to defeat this 
restriction.
