[TenTec] new Eagle

[John Bescher]

Mike,


You might be getting RF from high SWR back into your Eagle.  I have seen transceivers do weird things when stray RF gets into it.


I did have a situation where the antenna tuner did not tune, did not even try.  The SWR was too high.  When I fixed the antenna, the Eagle antenna tuner operated normally again.


Its a great little transceiver, especially for CW. Hope you enjoy it.

Hello to the list, I have just put my Eagle on the air from my vacation QTH
in Maine and have a couple of questions that are not answered in the manual.
(1)I am hearing an awful lot of what sound like spurious signals..as much as
about every 1 kHz or so on 30 an 20 meters CW..some with the antenna
disconnected and some not.  Does this seem normal to other Eagle users?
(2)about how long should the autotuner require for a match?  It seems like
sometimes you press the tune button and nothing is happening for 30 seconds
or more (the SWR indicator stays pegged at high) (I turned the tune off
after about 30 seconds to avoid overheating).  Turned the radio off and back
on again and it seems to tune more speedily.  Has anyone else experienced
this what sounds like the radio temporarily losing its mind?

Thanks an 73, Mike W2IY
