[TenTec] Anyone compared a Ten Tec Eagle to the Icom 7000?

[Stuart Rohre]

Yes, I know the 7000 covers more VHF bands, but at HF and 6m,
Does anyone have side by side operations comparisons?

I am aware of the receiver tests by Sherwood.  Good source.
I have seen some favorable comments about CW on the 7000, but imagine 
the Eagle maintains Ten Tec's well deserved CW reputation re break in.

I know a new ham who is considering his first rig.  He is a rather 
technical type of guy, and passed his first 3 practice Tech exams before 
he started studying for his license.  Ie, he is well grounded in 
electricity and physics.

I have already told him picking a new rig is very subjective, and 
depends on his main interests in operating.  And above all, he should 
try to try out a rig model first.

Thanks,
