I worry about inundating John Henry with so many questions. He must
be VERY busy with a lot of projects. I appreciate the fact that he
shares so much information already with the reflector.
I'll take a stab (speaking only for myself, not John)
Yes, the RX366 is essentially the Eagle receiver. A simple facility
will be provided to easily align the oscillators of the RX366 with the
Orion main receiver from the front panel, within a fraction of a
hertz. I don't know if you could strictly call this "phase locked"
but it works quite well for antenna diversity.
The RX366 filters will be simply plug-in and configure in the Orion
Filters menu.
Personally, I doubt it can be used/salved with the Eagle. The Orion
is the platform if you want dual receivers.
