The Scout, with noise blanker, would be about as
good as you can do in a mobile these days. Great
performance, small size, not many buttons to
mess with (and cause a crash!). Stop the car to change bands?

I still use my old faithful Scout for
mobile. The noise blanker in it takes out
almost all of my igintion noise, the Clear
Speech speaker I run outboard finishes it up. Very good for mobile CW.
I also add: I have been using my "beta test"
Scout (that Jack Burchfield sent to a number of us over 25 years ago)
for Mobile CW ever since. I verify Gary and
Dwight's findings, and also agree that the Scout Noise Blanker is the best
I have ever used, compared to my Triton 4, Omni
C, Corsair II, Delta II and Paragon. My Scout has endured endless
bumps, vibration, dust and dirt and still going
strong. Twice in the past 25 years I did pull the microprocessor and
reseat it to clean the contacts. This handled
any "instability" that came up. 'Long live the Scout" :-)
