At first blush, sounds power supply related to me. My first troubleshooting
step involves disconnecting everything from rig except power cord, straight key
and dummy load. Measure voltage AT RIG while key-down into dummy load at max
power. Try the tuner into the dummy load....what does it do? (Made assumption
earlier the coaxial jumper is good....another common weak link in the chain.)
still hear the spuruii with dummy load attached? Report back, as there are
many members of this list WAYYYYY more knowledgeable than I. I have only
attended 2 schools: hard knocks and experience ;-). Hope you find it is not
trouble with your new Eagle.

press th
e tune button and nothing is happening for 30 seconds or more (the SWR
indicator stays pegged at high) (I turned the tune off after about 30 seconds
to avoid overheating). Turned the radio off and back on again and it seems to
tune more speedily. Has anyone else experienced this what sounds like the radio
temporarily losing its mind? Thanks an 73, Mike W2IY --- This email has been
