[TenTec] Eagle problem?

[TTMaven]

Could you try a friend's radio and see if it helps.  I occasionally get 
to Farmington Hills, for business and/or pleasure, and could stop in and 
maybe try my Omni VII ... not sure when... but we could try it some day 
when I am headed your way.   (I live in SW GR and have friends who live 
in Bloomfield, Auburn Hills and Rochester Hills.

Have you tried placing the matchbox out at or close to the feed point? 
I cannot offer a cogent reason it should matter...but it seems like it 
might help.

Have you tried different lengths of feed line - window line and coax, 
respectively?  I won't recite all the reasons here, but you know how 
various lengths of feed line matter to impedance matching, etc.  It 
would be a cheap experiment to add some and see what happens.

Have you tried covering all components and patch cables with alum foil? 
   (OK... just kidding... but-cha never know...)    ;-)
