KD7EFQ, at the end of October you posted questions asking about the INRAD filters, audio mod etc. You have apparently elected not to do any of that and are now asking about an outboard audio improvement method. Having rejected (it seems) the INRAD method, you are now lashing out at people with wider filters. Yet you seem to advocate dsb carrier AM operating which is even wider than any SSB transmission. This nonsequitur makes you appear to not be rational on this.
Criticizing people who have undertaken a legitimate modification method merely because you have decided against it for yourself does not seem to be reasonable to me.


I have tried to understand the obvious resentment towards enhanced fidelity SSB operators and have had to conclude there are some in the hobby who desire it to remain in a static circa ~1970 form: Most hams on HF operating 2.1 khz SSB, and CW with a little RTTY and 2 m. FM as exotic modes. Novice, Techs, Generals, Conditionals, Advanced and Extras. No digital modes, Echolink, SO2R and so on allowed. Hence the kneejerk attacks on anything new such as the AOR HF digital voice box. I, also wish some things had not changed, but the hobby evolves. Accept it.
