To operate the Eagle in AM mode you must

select EA d in the configuration menu. See
table 1.7.1 for a list of the configuration
parameters. The peak modulated carrier level

you choose. As an example 100 watts peak to

To operate the Eagle in FM mode you must
have the 15 KHz filter installed and you must
select EF d in the configuration menu. See
table 1.7.1 for a list of the configuration

2.6. Mobile Operation
The Eagle 599 will lend itself to be an
excellent 100-watt mobile transceiver. A
mobile bracket P/N 321 is available as an
optional accessory. Ten-Tec also
recommends for convenience the optional 9ft.
DC cable with power poles installed P/N
46213. Please refer to the ARRL Handbook
for proper mobile wiring and antenna
installation techniques.
2.7. Digital Mode Operation
For most digital modes of operation you will
either be in USB or LSB. To set up the Eagle
for digital communications using the ACC-1
rear connector you must first turn on the
ACC-1 line input.
Press and hold the MIC button until the word
MIC disappears. You will hear two quick
beeps in the transceiver as MIC goes away
from the front screen. Next, quickly press the
MIC button and you will see the word MIC
and the level appearing to flash back and
forth. You may now adjust the line level gain
using the MULTI knob for the proper levels
to your computer or TNC. When finished
using the rear input jack simply press and
hold the MIC button one more time (1 beep)
this will toggle the line input off and the
microphone input will be turned back on.
The display will again show MIC. The line
gain level is retained once the input is
switched off. Microphone gain and rear input
gain can be independently adjusted and when
the radio is turned off the levels will remain
as they were last set.
2.8. Internal Hardware Noise
Blanker
The Eagle offers an optional model 320
Internal Hardware Noise Blanker. Once the
Noise Blanker hardware is installed, go into
the Configuration Menu and enable it.
The Noise Blanker can then be turned on and
of by using the NB button. The Noise Blanker
has two levels of settings. With the Noise
Blanker activated, press and hold the NB
button for about two seconds. 1 beep will
indicate normal setting, and 2 beeps will
indicate a more aggressive setting. If 3 beeps
are heard, then the Noise Blanker has not
been turned on in the Configuration Menu.
CAUTION: If the Noise Blanker is not
installed, but it has been turned on in the
Configuration Menu, then the Eagle will have
no receive audio when NB is pressed.
