[TenTec] poor harsh audio on OMNI-V

[Gary Hoffman]

Not only that, but an SSB contester might never care to listen to a signal 
any wider than 1.8 kHz and put such a filter in the wide position on 
purpose, as I have done.  I don't care a darn about "lows" in SSB signals I 
receive, and in fact filter them out anyway, in post-IF filters.  This gives 
me better selectivity, and an enhanced ability to understand the speech, in 
a hostile audio environment.  If I want nice audio, I go in the living room 
and listen to my stereo  (grin).
