[TenTec] Eagle birdie

[Tony]

Take a PL-259, solder a 50 Ohm resistor in it and connect it to the antenna port. If it is gone, it must come in externally.  This small termination you just made will come in handy in the future.
Good luck es 73, Tony VE3DWI

My Eagle is clear on 50.125 mhz. As you know, this is a calling frequency....conditions have been poor but once in awhile signals come out of nowhere. You may be hearing a weak and distant station. I'd wait and check again in a few hours.


Good luck, its a great transceiver. You'll like it. Simple, clean, very good front end. Portable. Quiet. I just worry about Tentec.

I would suggest verifying it really is in the rig and not from a nearby
source
(electronics, PC, etc). Not having the antenna hooked up may not do
it. Do
you have a Faraday Cage handy?
