" With speech processor off, the audio quality seems

to 8. With 2.059, I'm not sure if I'll be using it at all. Curious
what others find."
I think there have been some improvements in the performance of 2.059 over
previous V2 Orion releases. However, in trying to find an issue with the Voice
Recorder audio quality I have observed, consistently, that the "Monitor Audio"
from the External Speaker output has a very different sound from the "Monitor
Audio" that I hear from the from Headphone Jack. The audio seems to sound very
much the same when I am listening to the "main receiver audio" out of the two
outputs (External Speaker and Front Panel Headphone Audio Jack). Not sure why
"main receiver audio" would sound the same and "Monitor Audio" would sound very
different?
When listening to the "Monitor Audio" through the Front Headphone Jack it
sounds clear (No SP) and crisp. When I listen to the "Monitor Audio" through
the External Speaker output is sounds like there is a strong emphasis on the
low frequencies and the audio starts to sound slightly broken. Have others
using the Orion V2.059 observed a difference in "Monitor Audio" sound from the
two outputs (Headphone Jack and External Speaker output)?
Barry I also observe that the SP is very aggressive, even at low settings,
However, I have not gotten on-the-air comparisons of the audio with and without
SP. If I listen to the "SP Monitor Audio" through the External Speaker output
it gets distorted quickly. If I listen to the "SP Monitor Audio" through the
Headphone Jack output it certainly gets "harsh sounding" but it doesn't seem to
"distort" nearly as much. I would be interested in others comments on Speech
Processing audio quality and at what settings they are using for SP?
