Well, if you are happy, I am happy... And what I am going to say is not
rebuttal to you, etc., but simply how I see the issue...
Other than maybe the "drive it till it howls to work dx" issue, I simply do
not understand the need... For those who just 'have' to see the meters on the
amp stand up there, change to FM! Or change the shunt on the meter so it pins
on every syllable...
I go way back... I have tried/used/heard/discarded: clippers, compressors,
supermodulators, RF processors, and on, and on, over the past 40+ years... I
have a shelf full of what are collectors items... Datong, you name it...
Do we walk around with a DSP and a speaker for having a conversation with our
friends, spouse, boss, so that our voice is loud? If we did our pool of
friends would thin out rapidly...
Speech has a normal dynamic range, that is the ratio of the peaks to the
valleys... If the signal is audible in my receiver and I want it louder I turn
up my audio...
Many of the phone signals on the bands <makes me glad I am mostly CW) are
atrocious... Oh yeah, they are "loud", but so is a jack hammer, and just about
as pleasant to listen to...
And no, I am not one of the 10KC wide, super hi-fi crowd...
OK, I'm off the soap box, some one elses turn...
Cheers ... denny / k8do
