Thanks John,
For those needing/wanting a different bandwidth and/or mode in one VFO than in
the other, it can be done rather easily.

Subject: [TenTec] Eagle A few answers
> The DSP used in the Eagle is the ADSP21261 SHARC DSP, a 32bit DSP with
> 40bit floating point math, operates at 150MHz up to 900MFLOPS peak for
> some operations. The AKM4683 codec is 24bits. Plenty of horsepower
> and bits for what is needed for this feature level transceiver.
> A PIC chip is used for front panel controls, communications, overall
> system hardware control, etc, leaving all of the real audio processing
> performed by the DSP.
> VFO A and VFO B frequency and mode are remembered per band.
> The bandwidth and step size are remembered per mode.
> VFO B really only is a retainer place for a frequency, it follows the
> same mode/bandwidth as the main VFO does.
> When operating split, VFO B is always the transmit VFO, allowing you
> to have an offset frequency for transmit, it uses the same mode and
> bandwidth when swapped back to receive in VFO A and it will still use
> the same mode as in VFO A for transmit. Cross modeing is not available
> in the Eagle but it is available in the OMNI-VII and Orion series.
> The transmit bandwidth is always fixed, e.g. for CW or SB it will

> 6kHz filter, and for FM it will always be the optional 12kHz filter,

> AM, You can always turn on AM mode, regardless of whether you have the
> 6kHz filter installed or not. However you cannot transmit AM unless
> you have the 6kHz filter installed.
> The same for FM, can listen at any bandwidth, even 300Hz (makes no
> sense, but you can), but you can't transmit unless you have the 12kHz
> filter installed.
