I personally believe the Eagle is the wrong product to hang a radio restart on. Piggy back on the OMNI VII and Orion 2. Take a form factor somewhere near the Omni VII box, slap two eagle receivers i
You will never sell eagles at the proposed price point. I was not proposing an OMNI VII only the form factor ie user interface of a box similar in size or between the Orion and the Omni VII. What i
Panadapter scope on front, same menu system as Orion/Omni VII. Outputs for TV monitor. Similar to display on my ICOM 7800. That would something worth owning. From: terry foskey <n5tf@yahoo.com> T
Some of you misunderstood my post: What I propose is the following: Menu system of Orion or OMNI VII. 2 Receivers from Eagles. Transmit section from Eagle IF output Panadapter Display and Output for
Eagle numbers at $1600 per unit. Thats a stoudt price point when comparing to an Icom 7300. How many units to produce meaningful funding for R&D expansion? Let's assume $300 or $500 profit per unit
590SG has a legacy user interface. Good things going on inside of box but user interface does not present a spectrum view, on screen decode functions, etc. I believe the market will demand interfac
Rick, is there enough room within an eagle chassis to do what needs to be done? Doesn't look like it to me. Regarding the panadapter aspect, I certainly like my 7800 display and I find the Orion di
Not sure how many of you have actually operated the 7300? I do not own one and I am not particularly fond of ICOM although I own an ICOM 7800. To me the tonal quality of CW is better on the Yaesu.
Is there an elecraft site where one may continue to discuss the radio's superior attributes. It seems out of place to discuss among the lowly likes of TenTec owners. Sent from my iPhone
Yes, I am one of those described in Rick's post and guilty of holding the hobby back. Stated by someone that owns an ICOM 7800, TT Orion1, and others. There is a market for cheap radios and that's
Hello Rick - Agree, the report should be changed for SDRs. I would also propose that the ICOM 7800 numbers are much improved on the last versions. The ICOM 7800 test results on the report are early
KW4BD - Both Barry and I among many others here have owned both of the Orions. Both are very close in performance with perhaps a slight edge on receiver characteristics on the Orion 2. Gary recent
Thanks Paul for the kind note and I also apologize. After all the firmware upgrades the Orion turned into a great radio. I have an ICOM 7800 and honestly for ease of operation and ability to hear w
I had a Flex 6300, one thing that I didn't like the idea of was it had a different receiver front end than that of 6500 and above...seems like I recall it had no preselector, never tried it in a heav
Thanks Much for the kind note Ira. I too owned an Omni 6 Plus. I ordered one from TenTec and used it for many years. It also was and is a great rig, I really liked it on CW. I currently own an IC
