I was talking to a fellow Ham on 80/75 meters the other night and I noticed his 
audio just didn't seem right.  He was running a TS-950s, and a Henry amp and 
talking into a D104.  I turned my Softrock Ensemble II on and looked at his 
transmit signal.  Goodness... the bottom end extended another 1 Khz down the 
band (KC for others... hi)!!!

I have to give Ten-Tec credit, when I looked at my Eagle's transmit signal for 
SSB, it looked pretty dang good.  Much better than some new brand Y, and others 
I've seen on the air.  


I do hope we give up on the 12 V power supply concept much like the auto 
industry did with 6 volt systems in autos.  It's time for us to move up in 
voltage and embrace it.  It'll open up a small market for someone to build 
devices to combine and balance our existing 12 volt supplies for a 24 volt feed 
to our transmitters.  Or heck, why not 50 volts...?!?!
