[TenTec] Eagle minor woes

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

Operating system I presume is Windows 10?   Firmware version in the 
Eagle is V2.003?    Is the radio under CAT control from an 
application?    If so, perhaps the port went to sleep and left the radio 
hanging waiting on a command from the application.

In my station the Eagle is on many hours per day, mostly listing to 6M, 
and does get quite warm.  But no hang-ups noted.
