[TenTec] Tennessee Dreamin'

["Rob Atkinson, K5UJ" <k5uj@hotmail.com>]

Ten Tec did in effect make a single band cw rig.  it was also a single band 
phone rig, and a mobile rig.  It was called the Scout.  Small transceiver, 
50 watts, you get one and the module for the band you desire and 
kaboom...single band rig.  Mount it under the dashboard or on a table at 
home.

It sold for around 800 bucks (or less, but in that general price area).  It 
evidently flopped because they don't make it anymore.

Abt 25 yrs ago, TT also made a cw only xceiver.  Century 21.  I don't 
believe it went over all that well either.

Heathkit made single band SSB transceiver kits once.  They were okay for 
their time.  Majority of hams don't want to shell out a lot of money for a 
rig that will work on only one band, and a single band rig is almost as 
expensive to make as a multiband rig.  Once again the market rules.  
Therefore, don't hold ur breath.
