 Yup. One reason I sold my Eagle. Auto notches are fine, but I prefer both auto 
AND manual, with the ability to have both engaged simultaneously. Everyone has 
their druthers.

 mismatch. It is good policy. Orion's had an option in which you could press 
the Power button, I believe, to get 100 watts in Tune after match had been 
reached. Red arid green the A//B VFO, there really is no A or B VFO in the 
traditional sense and Eagle only has one tuning knob. Therefore, the A/B 
indicator serves no function in transceive operation. In split operation, that 
indicator should flip when going fro RX to TX to tell you which displayed 
frequency is the TX frequency. Gary Sent from my iPad  >  On Jul 19, 2017, at
