Eagle from the ashes?
I've made some noise about this in the past and feel the urge to toss some
pennies in the pool on this go-around.
TenTec's successes have come from innovation and niche in market.
1. Eagle is a fine radio. It sounds great, QSK works, and it's not all
jammed up with layers of menu.
Please fix exceptions.
no RX antenna port..........add one
noisy back light regulator............implement frequency agility of
selected part or change the regulator.
poor final temp management............get the temp monitors legs out of the
fan air stream or change detection scheme.
PITA wiring a connector for the accessory port.............Can the old DIN
connector in favor of a RJ45. Put the audio in and out on 1/8" or a pair of
RCA connectors.
No band data....I'm told it's there but "too difficult to decode" because
of design decisions. Fix this aspect of the control firmware.
Old documentation....bring it up to date.
-----------------------------------
Desired accessories:
Bolt on 1:9 and 1:4 baluns to go with the tuner for use with balanced
transmission line.Can sell these to go with the existing Eagle. Say $59.95
Zero beat indicator or build it into the firmware.
