Re: [TenTec] Scout current drain?

hey guys/gals!

The radio can function very well with 7AH batts all day (at reduced 
power) They are Gel Cells for those interested.
I use two of them, when one goes down, I switch in the other and go 
for another 4/5 hours.
I use solar panels to charge them.
Who sez they (Scout) hard to be used as portable ??? (smile)

Also I have a sealed 60AH batt I also solar-charge and THAT sucker 
keeps me Scout running all weekend!
Oh, and the 516 is also set up the same way! It lasts me all week! 
What a blast!
