I did measure the Scout at 5 watts, turned down some years ago. There is
quite a residual drain, but I am not sure you gain much in dropping out the
amplifier board. My understanding, is that is all the Argo mod did. The
driver transistor then is patched by the RG 174 coax jumpers to the LPF in
the plug in module to become your final transistor.
Whatever the numbers, it convinced me to leave the 50 watt option intact for
resale value, flexible operations in low sunspot times, etc.
