[Amps] Re: Audio BW -- Please just let us operate!!

[Dale J.]

I've tuned around when propagation is pretty good and the bands don't 
seem too crowded and that includes 20 m.  Seems  the only ones who 
complain about crowded bands are those that participate in contests.

A sticky point with me is the receiver performance of  late model 
radios is not so good and that may contribute to what is perceived to 
be splatter
The INRAD 4 Khz roofing filter mod for the MKv may help in that area.  
I will have mine in about a month.  In the meantime, bottom line  is 
the overdriven amps and excessively wide (20 Khz plus) AM sigs.
