[TenTec] RX366 Update

Sounds like the RX366 is essentially the Eagle receiver. John, can you 
confirm that? And if that is so, is there an easy way to operate it 
"slaved" and phase locked to the Eagle receiver, so that it could be 
used in a multiple receive antenna diversity arrangement?

I have experienced this with an Elecraft K3, which is one of the few 
dual receiver transceivers in which the two receivers are identical. On 
the low bands, particularly 160 meters, it really works good, improving 
copy during fades. Deep fades often do not occur simultaneously on both 
antennas. And I find the stereo effect of one receiver and antenna in 
each ear desirable. This only works well when both receivers are phase 
locked. The two receivers cannot have different frequency resolution 
step sizes.

I'd love to have this capability from Ten-Tec.
