I have an Eagle and a TS590 and a pair of K3s along with 16 other transceivers 
n my station,  The other radios are just as new and cost many dollars more.
he only two radios I have had complements on the audio from DX stations are my 
RION ll and my Eagle.  The Eagle is a way under rated radio.  
Actually I would rate the radios as follows......Eagle, TS590, K3.  There is so 
uch hype surrounding the Elecraft gear it is like a Cult

     Wasn't the first run sold out?  Wait for the QST review, then you'll see 
ore comments.  For me, I don't have time to write a review, I'm too busy 
orking the world with my Eagle.  :D

ut the reviews that are listed are very good (5/5).  Perhaps the Eagle is too 
xpensive and appeals to a niche market.  The Kenwood 590 and the Elecraft K3 
re selling the sox off their radios.  I hope Ten-Tec will be able to get their 
irmware straightened out.  I like the total down conversion of the Eagle and 
ope John Henry can get the Eagle to work smoothly in CW QSK with a linear amp.
