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.

Once again, the point is missed. There is a lead on the accessory
jack if I wanted to just use a straight key or an external keyer.
We covered that earlier. Let me try this again:
I WOULD LIKE TO USE THE INTERNAL KEYER. IT IS WHAT I DO ON MY OMNI
VI+'S
THAT IS ONLY SUPPORTED FROM THE FRONT PANEL. I KNOW I CAN DRILL A
HOLE AND MOUNT A 1/8" STEREO JACK ON THE REAR PANEL TO DO THIS. I
DON'T WANT TO DRILL THAT HOLE!!!
I SAID IN MY FIRST E-MAIL THAT I KNOW I'M ANAL. NONE OF THE ANSWERS
ADDRESS THE ORIGINAL THOUGHT.
Now that I've had that rant, I'll just plug the key into the front
panel using a right-angle 1/4" stereo plug. It'll work fine and
I'll be happy with it. Yes, I am a ham. I've built, modified and
repaired a lot of equipment. So There!!! I was just stating a wish
for the future.
As for the remark that it isn't difficult to disconnect and rerun
the cable from the front jack, this is a stereo jack. I'd have to
use both spare RCA jacks to do that. One for dit, and one for dah,
and color code the 2 cables so I always got them in the right
jacks. NO THANKS
