I am overdriving my sound card BADLY but here is a recording from the OMNI VI+
with audio takeoff - it sounds better than what you describe. It takes the
Inrad 2.8's to make this happen.

I think TenTec should have a transceiver that has an analog subreceiver, like
my FT2000 does, so the operator can compare exactly what that DSP is or is not
doing for him under any given conditions. The DSP side is occasionally a treat
- but more than 50% of the time I listen ANALOG. !

your right on the limits of communications audio ,but the VI+ does not even
pass audio in that range, in normal operation. I run a B-line, a flex 5000 and
a Kenwood ts-480 ,all produce beautiful,clear audio. Iam not talking ssb HI-FI
or any of that nonsense. My old s-line had much better audio than the ten tec
has in its normal unchanged state. The VI+ always sounds like it has a BAD head
cold. I have been able to upgrade the audio quality with the Inrad mod, better
but not good. Will give N1EU's direct takeoff suggestion for the audio a try.
The quality of the VI+ audio was mostly a result of tweaking for CW and never
listening to ssb on the rig. No other manufacturer seems to have a audio
problem like the VI+'s. It was also in the Omni V's and a few other earlier
rigs. Just my opinion
