You really need to be more detailed describing how you will be operating:
---mobile or fixed station?
---bands?
---SSB or CW or both?
All radios are a compromise and if you are looking for some valuable
feedback parameters need to be defined. The SOUT has some definite pluses
especially
with ease of use. There are some radios that come with built in ATUs making
the operation simpler from a set up point of view. A SGC 2020 offers rugged
field durability and compactness.
The Scout probably offers more simplicity in field repairs than many.

About once a year I have been going off on mission trips. I'd like to take
along a rig with me next time, so I'm kinda looking around the used market
for a good, small radio.
I see Scouts for sale quite a bit, and I'd really like to here from some
folks who have owned them and see if it might be worth investigating further.
I
can't say I'm a hard-driving latest-and-greatest kinda guy, mostly do a
little casual operating here and there, so I don't need SUPER performance,
just
maybe some communication home.
Whatcha all think?
