Re: [TenTec] The Eagle

["Charles Strickland" <wa4oss@earthlink.net>]

Hey, I like this post, best in two days.  I have requested this long ago.  I 
have the Jupiter, Omni VII, and Orion II.  I would like to be able to 
connect to my RF Space SDR-IQ, use the software of my choice and play.  I am 
old, tired, don't see as well as in younger days, have a bad attitude, and 
don't want to bugger up a radio bringing out the IF.
Just having fun!
