Andy:
Good to see you on the list. I know we worked each other briefly one day on
SSB (or it could have been AM). I too enjoy the flexibility the 6K filter
provides on the receive side in SSB. I do use the Eagle on AM quite a bit and
ALWAYS get excellent audio reports. I have signed and just listen in sometimes
and have overheard fellas stating... "man, that Eagle sounds like a boat
anchor." John Henry did a FB job on the AM fidelity. I use a R/S speaker as
well, but do not remember the model number. It is the cubed shaped one with a
single full range speaker. It was a little bassy for the Eagle, so I changed
the driver out with one that had a little more high-end and the Eagle really
sounds sweet!
73, and hope to work you again some day.... Eagle-to-Eagle.

P.S., there must be quite a few Eagles on the air. During one check-in on
Midcars I heard two other Hams checked-in with Eagles in my 15 minutes on net
for a total of three of us! Both had questions about the radio so we talked on
air for a bit, swapped emails and I think at least one of them joined the
list.

Subject: [TenTec] Eagle AM filter
Bought my Eagle last year and love it. I ordered the AM filter with mine
because I thought I might mess with AM, but the real advantage is that the
max DSP bandwidth follows the widest filter installed. I find I use the DSP
bandwidth usually set at 2600 for audio quality, then adjust down from
there depending on conditions. I use a R/S Minimus 7 speaker and the PBT
set about 1 o'clock.
Maybe I'll get more time in front of it at home this winter!
