[TenTec] The new TenTec

[Michael Chowning]

I find the tuner on the Eagle difficult - one beep, two beeps, ugh. I 
never know if I'm turning it on, off, or tuning.  The miniscule swr bar 
graph is useless, even if you can find it (I wear trifocals).   I much 
prefer the Omni VII's tuner.  Put the Omni VII's tuner in the next Eagle.
