Subject: [TenTec] AM Receiver distortion in Orion II
One of the items on my "wish list" for the Orion II is to fix the AM
receive audio, which sounds to me like a problem in the DSP code that
causes distortion and 'muddy' sound. It's most noticeable during
selective fades that cause a serious clipping effect. Last night, I made
an MP3 of a local AM radio station comparing the O2 to a TS-870, and sent
it to TT service. This morning, TT said they couldn't hear any difference
between the two receivers. Is it my ears or what? The link to the clip
is below. The O2 is the first 60 seconds and the 870 is the second 60
seconds. Bandwidth on the O2 is 6 kHz, while the 870 is 3 kHz, although
as you'll hear, it sounds just the opposite!

Can anyone besides me hear the difference?
