I had a Scout for a few years. Used it as a backup rig on 75 meter ssb.
Disadvantages are it tends to drift (there is a mod to fix this) and you are
limited by the modules as to what band you operate on. Also, the modules are
fairly hard to obtain. I upgraded to an Argonaut V for digital and cw. Its a
fantastic little rig and I really think you would be more satusfied with the
A5.
