[TenTec] The Eagle

Heh - I don't think various monotone colors is exactly what the Orion owners
were asking for!  :-)

Interesting that this is the first feature listed. Understandable 
though, when you remember how much people complained about the Orion not 
having color. With apologies to deaf operators, what the radio sounds 
like is much more important to me than what it looks like.

Are crystal ladder filters really unique to Ten-Tec? A narrow filter at 
the first possible place in the first IF is certainly not unique to 
Ten-Tec these days.

I hope that is going to work on 10 meter FM too. There are 10 meter
repeaters that also require CTCSS.

Glad to hear that Ten-Tec has not forgotten the importance of great QSK, 
and that this is one of the things that they have built a reputation 
for. If they forgot about this, I would forget about Ten-Tec for a new rig.
