    Description

    This is a fully functional ten ten Scout (the high power version) with five band modules (80 meters; 40 meters, 20 meters, 17 meters and 15 meters), a Ten Tec hand mic and transceiver power cable and a manual.  I will also include a spare hand mic.
    The radio works great. I have been using it on HF, primarily 40 and 20, and have made SSB contacts all over the North America (with occasional compliments on my audio).  I use an end fed wire up about 20 feet.
    The radio does have one problem that is  common to Scouts.  When you transmit on SSB you hear yourself in the speaker.  This is not feedback it is fully modulated SSB audio.  What is happening is an IC that mutes the speaker during transmit isn't functioning properly.  I had this happen on a pervious Scout. I sent it to Clairmont Skyland Radio in Gainesville GA and they fixed it.  They are still in business and can be found with a quick google search.  However as evidenced by signal reports this doesn't interfere with the units normal operation.  I set my tuner on top of the speaker and I don't hear the audio.
    The transceiver shows normal wear for a unit that is pushing 30 years old.
    Shipping is , flat rate.  No shipping out side mainland US.  Do to age, this unit dates from the 1990s, no returns.  But it will not be DOA, I am using it on the air now and it works fine.
