[TenTec] Ten Tec & Eagle

[CallSignsoftware/WA1EYP]

Hi Roger,

I have owned an Eagle for over a year and I can say the following:
-It has an extremely quiet receiver. Its RF gain works as it should and 
does not pump the AGC.
-The DSP filtering along with the filters they provides beat anything I 
have owned including most TT rigs (but not Orion)
-I have owned a K2 and found its audio very tiring.  I have heard the 
same thing from friends that have upgraded to a K3.  I chose not too.  I 
demand audio that
my ears can stand for both SSB and CW.
-The DSP filtering and Pass band beat anything the K2 had to offer. I am 
not sure if they really improved this on the K3 or just
carried the K2 design forward.
-If you check Sherwood Engineering Site you are paying almost $900.00 
extra for only a 5db improvement in the close in dynamic range.
-Finally TT service was a LOT better than Elecraft.

I say off line because I feel certain that this is a question and discussion that has taken place on more than one occasion. I have a K1 and Ten Tec Omni 6 Opt2 as well as a TT 540. My Omni 6 has gone on the fritz again this weekend and although I feel certain that TT service can fix it, I am at a point where I want to buy myself a new rig for CW use. I have always had used rigs with the exception of the K1 and I feel that it is time for one of the newer SDR rigs. I would certainly like to hear from you if you have operated both of these rigs extensively and would be able to take the time to tell me about those experiences. I have posted a similar request on the Elecraft reflector and have heard some well thought out opinions on these rigs; I would welcome yours. Of course I will probably send the Omni 6 in
