[Elecraft] Best Radio for a Scout Camp

[Joe - aa4nn]

Hi Jeff,
For simplicity in operation you couldn't do better than a Ten-Tec rig.  The
Corsair II is incredibly simple to operate and has a fantastic receiver.
Next choice would be the Omni VI+.  Both are solid state, no tune.  However
you might want an auto tuner between the rig and selected antenna.

This is a fairly non-Elecraft question - Unless, of course, you suggest I
get Elecraft products.

A complete ham station has been donated to the local Boy Scout Council, and
I am working to set up a radio station at our camp. The equipment includes
transceivers, tower, antennas, cable, and accessories. The equipment is
70's, 80's era stuff, and most of it works. I am trying to decide if I
should set up the equipment we have or sell and trade for something
different.

What is the ideal radio for a Boy Scout camp?
