Perhaps some thought needs to be put into the fact that the Scout/Argo uses
a PTO and not a synthesizer for frequency control. Everything else staying
the same, I wonder how much worse the RX of the Scout/Argo would be if they
just replaced the PTO with a synthesizer? The use of the plug in modules,
while not convenient, made it possible for them to make a rig like the
Scout/Argo that many hams could afford. I believe I have seen some projects
(QST) for a digital VFO. Is this a possible way to go?
