Here's some pictures by KE9V from the Ten Tec hamfest last weekend. I took a few but these are more detailed more inclusive. The new EAGLE appears in a few of the pictures.

More info on the new rig can be found at www.tentec.com. This looks like a winner to me. It's a small rig (same size as the Argonaut V ) with 100W on 160-6 meters and receiver specs right up there with the best rigs.
It could serve as a mobile or portable rig but could be used as a main rig and has specs to allow it to be a fine CW and SSB contest rig as well.
Judy went with me and we stayed for an extra day or two. I did the hamfest and factory tour and we both toured the area of Sevierville, Pidgeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Boy has this area grown into a major tourist attraction. Lots of things of interest to Judy as well as me. I took out a bunch of excess stuff but didn't do very well (maybe $100 in sales). The five Vibroplex bugs and one McIlroy bug came back with me. I would have thought that at least one of the CW ops there would have wanted one of them!
