Thanks for the gloss on OmniRig... although I am already familiar with what it, and use it regularly with my FiFi SDR.

I am not sure your list of roadblocks is universally applicable. None of those things would preclude my group from using the Eagle in a contest. There are alternatives to Wintest which do not require OmniRig, and we have not been concerned over band stack registers or band data because we are way too busy making contacts to shuffle the gear around or change bands during the fray.

Nevertheless, I appreciate your frustration with the program author, as his reason for indifference seems make-weight and weak as water.

And, yes, Carl can likely solve it - he's a whiz !

Just MY take... I am sure your mileage varies.

James, there are 3 things that prevent the Eagle from ever becoming any
contest club's (or dx-pedition's) radio of choice:
1): No Band Data available on the back panel to drive external amplifiers,
BPFs, or antenna switches.
2): No Band Stacking Register
3): No proper support from OmniRig
