Eagle HF DSP Transceiver; Ten-Tec


I got an e-mail asking if I had heard anything about this rig.
The answer is no I have not.
Ryan informs me that this rig may give some of the newer rigs a run for there money and operation features. The radio looks nice and I love the fact that the fact that many of the hot buttons light up and the fact you can also change the color on the display.
-----------------

Ten-Tec has created a transceiver combining simplified controls and ease of operation with the excellent performance of a low first IF 160-through 6-meter ham-band architecture in a compact, mobile-friendly structure. The analog portion of the radio is double conversion with IF frequencies of 9.0015 MHz and 22.5 kHz. A third conversion to zero-frequency IF is accomplished in the DSP processor.

- Frequency Range TX: Ham Bands Only (160-6M)
- RF Power Output: Adjustable, 5-100 W, +/- 1 dB

Price “599″ Model (without Antenna Tuner): $1795.00
Price “599AT” Model (with Antenna Tuner): $1995.00

    HOW TO READ PROPAGATION NUMBERS

    The A index [ LOW is GOOD ]

    • 1 to 6 is BEST
    • 7 to 9 is OK
    • 11 or more is BAD

    Represents the overall geomagnetic condition of the ionosphere ("Ap" if averaged from the Kp-Index) (an average of the eight 3-hour K-Indices) ('A' referring to amplitude) over a given 24 hour period, ranging (linearly) typically from 1-100 but theoretically up to 400.

    A lower A-Index generally suggests better propagation on the 10, 12, 15, 17, & 20 Meter Bands; a low & steady Ap-Index generally suggest good propagation on the 30, 40, 60, 80, & 160 Meter Bands.

    SFI index [ HIGH is GOOD ]

    • 70 NOT GOOD
    • 80 GOOD
    • 90 BETTER
    • 100+ BEST

    The measure of total radio emissions from the sun at 10.7cm (2800 MHz), on a scale of 60 (no sunspots) to 300, generally corresponding to the sunspot level, but being too low in energy to cause ionization, not related to the ionization level of the Ionosphere.

    Higher Solar Flux generally suggests better propagation on the 10, 12, 15, 17, & 20 Meter Bands; Solar Flux rarely affects the 30, 40, 60, 80, & 160 Meter Bands.

    K index [ LOW is GOOD ]

    • 0 or 1 is BEST
    • 2 is OK
    • 3 or more is BAD
    • 5 is VERY VERY BAD

    The overall geomagnetic condition of the ionosphere ("Kp" if averaged over the planet) over the past 3 hours, measured by 13 magnetometers between 46 & 63 degrees of latitude, and ranging quasi-logarithmically from 0-9. Designed to detect solar particle radiation by its magnetic effect. A higher K-index generally means worse HF conditions.

    A lower K-Index generally suggests better propagation on the 10, 12, 15, 17, & 20 Meter Bands; a low & steady Kp-Index generally suggest good propagation on the 30, 40, 60, 80, & 160 Meter Bands.
