10. Addendum C (added February 21, 2011)
10.1. Squelch Clarification
SQL (18) – is defined in the section concerning SSB operations. As a clarification to the
instructions Squelch level is adjusted as follows:
 Enter Secondary Function Mode by pressing the FNC button.
 If SQL is not shown in the display, then turn it on by pressing FAST/SQL to activate it.
 To adjust the level, press and hold Fast/SQL until you see a number appear next to the MIC
text. Once you release the Fast/SQL button, you should now see that the number next to the
MIC text and the SQL text flash in unison.
 Utilize the Multi knob to adjust to the desired squelch setting.
 To exit the Squelch Level Adjustment, press the Fast/SQL button again. You will now see the
SQL text on the display, and the number next to the MIC text disappears.
 If desired, you can now exit the Secondary Function mode by pressing FNC.
At any time while in Secondary Function Mode, momentary presses of the Fast/SQL button will
toggle Squelch on/off. With the current state of Squelch indicated by the presence of the SQL text
for on, or the SQL text not shown when Squelch is off.
Squelch will work on all modes, not just SSB and FM.
10.2. Utilization of the optional 15k filter for FM Reception
It is advisable to place the 15k filter in filter slot one (F1) in order to achieve more optimal FM
performance.
10.3. Auxiliary Connectors
Starting with Serial Number 305136000O, the Rear Panel of the Eagle shows AUX 1 and AUX 2.
AUX 1 is pre-installed upon shipment of the transceiver with a tap into the 9MHz IF. AUX 2 ships
from the factory with a plug installed. This plug can be removed and a connector can be installed
for future use.
In Receive mode, the 9MHz IF level will be approximately 15db less than the actual carrier level
when measured at the antenna connector. Depending upon the intended usage, this means that you
may want to put a buffer amp after the AUX1 output jack before your device that will utilize this
output.
In Transmit mode, the level at the 9 MHz output connector will range from –30 dBm (on 160M) to
–15 dBm (on 6M). The TX level was measured with the radio programmed for 100 watts output on
each band.
The impedance of the 9MHz IF tap at AUX 1 is 50 Ohms.
