Hi Rick,

Thanks for the info, I'll visit there.

I don't expect rigs to "fail" all the time, but sometimes folks have issues with firmware/software with the software-enabled radios. So outright failure isn't what am concerned about, and if it did "fail" my experiences with Ten-Tec prove they would repair it. But seems there has been a lot of discussion about other Ten-Tec radios with "glitches" etc. When I read about "polling frequency" and "handshake errors", these can be issues the vendor may not be able to replicate and correct. I know that folks usually don't go to trouble to sing praises of a product, mostly what are logged on lists are the complaints.

I haven't seen much on this list of complaints about the Eagle, maybe those are logged on the other list you mentioned. Am hoping that maybe the Eagle software/firmware is settled debugged code with no issues.

Your last paragraph about seals the deal for me because those three items are paramount for me.

73, Curt KB5JO
