Does the noise blanker work ?? I never found it useful, but it does
cause distortion if you crank it up.
Never had an audio quality complaint, but according to local
stations, there is a difference in my voice as between 80 m lower
sideband and 20 m upper sideband. I can actually detect this on
receive; I usually move the passband tuning on 80 a tad to the left
to give more comfortable audio on 80 LSB from guys I know personally
(and also work on 20 USB). This does not work on transmit; I still
sound "different".
This has got to be related to filter passband shape - probably no two
filters are exactly the same anyway.
(Or is an oscillator out of alignment ??)
Its also possible to screw up with the settings of FADE and BPF.
I made the rig useless on CW last week by goofing over this. Took me
a day to figure I why the signals sounded so weird ...
I use an external speaker, (Radio Shack Minimus 7) and it is not
happy if I turn the audio too high. This is rather surprising; the
Minimus 7 should easily handle anything the Omni-V can throw at it.
The internal speaker has the same problem with high audio levels, only
more so. I conclude that the Omni-V audio may tend to distort, but
only at much higher volume settings than I normally need/use.
