[TenTec] Receive Audio Mod INRAD

[John Rippey]

Hi, Barry:

"for those looking for wider receive audio bandwidth, there's just no
comparison between the Omni6 (ARRL measured 1630hz bandwidth) and the
FT-1000MP (capable of ~ 3000hz bandwidth in EDSP mode with wide filter
engaged)."


Two comments. 1. Why try to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear? For 
excellent receive audio, I have a JRC JST-245 and a TS-870S which I 
would match up against any other transceivers out there. But I'm not 
interested in Hi-Fi SSB audio. Could care less, in fact.

2. There was a huge difference in audio quality between the OMNI VI I 
own now compared to an earlier one I owned, which was scratchy and 
distorted.  When I bought the JST-245 as a second rig, I was astonished 
to hear the difference in intelligibility excellent audio can make. Of 
course, it's possible the old OMNI was defective, but what did I know? 
As a used rig, it had cleared the T-T shop, so I assumed it was OK.
