Jim, the K3 speaker itself is actually not too bad and has a decent-sized diaphragm and magnet driver. The problem is with the way the speaker mounts to the cabinet. A simple baffle would eliminate

Probably the most significant way to sway TS-590 purchasers over to the Eagle is to include a 9 MHz I.F. port for use with LP-PAN, SDR-IQ, or QS1R as a panadapter and second Rx. For the minimal manuf

many operators want one, and how TT should be well aware of it. The inclusion of the port is a no-brainer. It takes no R&D (yes, really), nearly zero manufacturing effort, and essentially no added c

That's the single-most reason for the I.F. output. You don't pay for something you don't need as you would with an internal panadapter. The addition of the I.F. jack adds extremely little production

I don't see "SPLIT" nor "REV" buttons on the Eagle's front panel. It will be interesting to see how one engages simple "DX split" without the use of rig control software. Using "A/B" is one way but t

Excellent! That's a real competitive advantage over the TS-590. With the inclusion of the IF port, SDR-IQ (or LP-PAN), and N4PY control software, that's an extremely power operating combination, espe

That depends on how the RCA jacks are attached to the rear panel. If a PC sub-board is attached directly to the RCA jacks, it's not as simple as unsoldering a wire pair. Looking at the Eagle's rear

Good advice Steve. A transmission line impedance "bump" is generally only an issue when the line must be terminated into its characteristic impedance. In that case, the impedance on the line as a fu

That's why I like the SDR-IQ approach for a panadapter as it handles the bulk of processing. CPU utilization with SpectraVue is very small in relation to PowerSDR/IF. So low, that I can use the Spec
