[TenTec] Eagle 9MHz tap questions.

[Barry N1EU]

I ended up adding the 9MHz i.f. output to the Orion main rx per the VE7TK
mod instructions and the results have been quite good.

With the RX366, there were two +15dB humps in my passband approx +/-25KHz
from center freq.  Also, the rx signal levels seemed attenuated/compressed
- for example, a signal that was 30dB above the noise on the receiver might
show up as only 15dB above noise on the if output.  But as I said, it might
be completely different on the Eagle.

73/Happy Holidays,
Barry N1EU
