[TenTec] Ten-Tec Eagle

[Richards]

The comparison of the Eagle and the Kenwood TS-590 is intriguing.

I looked all over the Kenwood TX-590 product brochure and cannot find a 
clear specification for dynamic range.   Not that it is the only spec of 
interest, but the Kenwood company says it is a "K-3" killer, with  "best 
of class"  dynamic range,... but I have yet to find where Kenwood 
specifies the dynamic range.

Even Yaesu gives a figure of 112 dB/IP3 +40dBm   for its FT-DX 5000. 
But the Kenwood guys only claim "best in class" - whatever that means.

What does this tell us?  Or does Kenwood specify it someplace I have yet 
to discover?

Given the Eagle specs, it is pretty good compared to the FT-DX-5000
which costs way more money and is a HUGE black box with numerous knobs, 
buttons, and switches.  Given the lack of details from Kenwood, I 
suspect its new rig cannot really compete or it would be bragging abut 
its pedigree with greater specificity.

Any traction?
