Sounds like the RX366 is essentially the Eagle receiver. John, can you confirm that? And if that is so, is there an easy way to operate it "slaved" and phase locked to the Eagle receiver, so that it could be used in a multiple receive antenna diversity arrangement?

I have experienced this with an Elecraft K3, which is one of the few dual receiver transceivers in which the two receivers are identical. On the low bands, particularly 160 meters, it really works good, improving copy during fades. Deep fades often do not occur simultaneously on both antennas. And I find the stereo effect of one receiver and antenna in each ear desirable. This only works well when both receivers are phase locked. The two receivers cannot have different frequency resolution step sizes.

I'd love to have this capability from Ten-Tec.

Since the RX366 is mostly based on Eagle boards,
when we set up for stuffing the 599 boards, we can build more of the
same board for multiple products without the cost of tearing down the
mydata "stuffer" and setting it back up for a different board.
