====== Scout Solid State Replacement Meter ======
**From the Ten-Tec Reflector - October 25, 2008**

Having very little luck trying to find a replacement analog meter for  the scout, I decided to design a solid state version.  The proof of concept has been installed and I have to say works just fine.

Using a moving bar LED display, it's not ground breaking technology but for the simple Scout, it's quite doable.

Fits inside the old analog meter. I put the driver pcb in the location that holds (held the noise blanker) there was no blanker in my Scout.

I'll post up some links with photos and perhaps some video showing the new meter in action.

Pop me a note if you're interested in any photos or videos.
