Hi Roger,
I have owned an Eagle for over a year and I can say the following:
-It has an extremely quiet receiver. Its RF gain works as it should and
does not pump the AGC.
-The DSP filtering along with the filters they provides beat anything I
have owned including most TT rigs (but not Orion)
-I have owned a K2 and found its audio very tiring. I have heard the
same thing from friends that have upgraded to a K3. I chose not too. I
demand audio that
my ears can stand for both SSB and CW.
-The DSP filtering and Pass band beat anything the K2 had to offer. I am
not sure if they really improved this on the K3 or just
carried the K2 design forward.
-If you check Sherwood Engineering Site you are paying almost $900.00
extra for only a 5db improvement in the close in dynamic range.
-Finally TT service was a LOT better than Elecraft.

The purpose of this post is ask anyone who has had experiences with both the
Eagle and the K3 to email me off-line with their opinions of both rigs. I say
off line because I feel certain that this is a question and discussion that has
taken place on more than one occasion. I have a K1 and Ten Tec Omni 6 Opt2 as
well as a TT 540. My Omni 6 has gone on the fritz again this weekend and
although I feel certain that TT service can fix it, I am at a point where I
want to buy myself a new rig for CW use. I have always had used rigs with the
exception of the K1 and I feel that it is time for one of the newer SDR rigs. I
would certainly like to hear from you if you have operated both of these rigs
extensively and would be able to take the time to tell me about those
experiences. I have posted a similar request on the Elecraft reflector and have
heard some well thought out opinions on these rigs; I would welcome yours. Of
course I will probably send the Omni 6 in
to service for a fix at some point unless I sell it since it too is a great
rig. Thanks in advance. 73s Roger Rippy W7RIP
