What's wrong with the Scout? Is it drifty,
inaccurate, or does the CW thing bother you (you know,
the fact that it measures the injection freq, not the
carrier freq, of a CW signal--it winds up being
+/-700Hz)? Or the fact it only goes down to 100Hz
resolution? Just curious, I have one.
BTW, for what it's worth, at the moment, I'm content
with +/-100Hz accuracy, as I would only do voice/cw (I
don't operate much at the moment) and that's close
enough.

I have to chuckle over all this. My first radio was a
Ten-Tec Century
21,
and it didn't even HAVE a digital frequency readout.
I seem to recall
having no trouble using it, regardless.
Is this really worth bickering for days over? It's
sure affecting the
signal to noise ratio on this list.
I have two radios that have nice, accurate frequency
readouts, an
IC-756PRO
and a Jupiter. I have one that doesn't, a Scout. I
would have to
bicker
with myself, and nobody wants to listen to that. :)
