Hi Gang:
In looking at the photos of the Eagle on Ten-Tec's site... I -only-
saw a key jack on the rear of the radio... nothing on the front. Did
I miss the point? The only jacks I see on the front are the 8-pin
mic jack, and the 1/4" headphone jack.
I don't have a photo of the Omni to compare.
The photos of the Eagle are really nice. I bet they are life size
renderings.
