[TenTec] The Eagle

[Rick - NJ0IP / DJ0IP]

Paul, I couldn't disagree more, although you are right :-)

For me, I don't give a hoot about a connection for a Pan adapter.
I need a radio, not a tv set.
I want to have a separate RX antenna input.
I want to have the ability to insert a preselector when I use the radio in
Europe.

But you know what....I can install both of those myself.  I don't need
TenTec to do it for me.  I have a drill.

My take, TenTec wanted to get the product to market as quickly as possible.
FULLY AGREE, they should make a few extra holes on the back panel.
But get the product on the market ASAP to stop the erosion away from the
brand.

To my knowledge, this is the first Ten-Tec transceiver that does not have 2
extra "spare" RCA phono plugs on the back panel.  Too bad.

Importance: High

Probably the most significant way to sway TS-590 purchasers over to the 
Eagle is to include a 9 MHz I.F. port for use with LP-PAN, SDR-IQ, or QS1R 
as a panadapter and second Rx.  For the minimal manufacturing effort, I just

cannot see how this one significant feature could be overlooked with the 
full production unit.  At the very least, a panel hole for a BNC jack should

be provided for those that want to add their own I.F. buffer, like that 
manufactured and sold by Jack Smith at Clifton Labs.
