Looks like the TT Eagle has some real tough competition in the TS-590. Personally, I think TT's goal with the Eagle is to field test the bones of their new hf architecture that we will see down the road in a full-featured dual rx Orion III or whatever they will call it. 73, Barry N1EU -- View t

I looked at the docs again. No built-in speech processor. This is a deal breaker for me. They are selling the external one, but it is another box and an expense. Perhaps some options will come later with refined software. Not sure why are they marketing their external speech processor to advan

I used the Eagle while there for one cw QSO while at the hamfest. The keying relay was loud enough to be heard above the crowd which was a deal breaker for me. Otherwise it was similar to using the Jupiter but with better filtering. Anyway. Here's the link to all the information. http://www.ten

What I noticed was missing is a dedicated RIT *knob*. The RIT function exists, but as a secondary function, requiring two button presses to set it up. According to the manual: RIT (22) The receiver integrated tuning can be selected as a secondary button function by pressing FNC and then the MOD bu

The 599 does have a SPLIT function. According to the Eagle manual: To operate SPLIT mode simply press and hold the A/B button for 2 seconds. The word SPLIT will appear next to the B VFO which also indicates the frequency you will be transmitting on. Remember when in SPLIT mode you will always be

Their Eagle is small (like K2) with few buttons in front and few connectors in back. No SPLT button, no rx ant. 7lb with all the options. First IF at 9 Mhz with 2.4K standard and two empty slots, and 2nd IF with DSP. Around $1800 with no ant tuner and $2k with a tuner. It seems that they are f
