[TenTec] new firmware

[Steven Kline]

Yes John, I observed the same.  

Additionally, I noticed that all of the settings for my microphone ( Ten Tec Studio) required much different adjustment than the earlier load that I was running (2.041XL).  With the new load I must run the settings much higher than before to accomplish close to the same.  For example the hardware microphone gain, in the menu, I am now running at 4 and the mic gain control on the radio (front) I seem to need as high as 70-75 to get enough audio drive (verses around 50 in previous load), this is without the speech processor turned on.  I have my ssb lower rolloff set at 240 hz and xmit bandwidth at 2700.  I thought my audio sounded better through the headphones on the earlier version.  Audio is sort of a tough one to judge without putting it on a spectral scope as it is so subjective to most ears.  Some will hear it and say it sounds great and two minutes later another will break in and tell you it is the worse audio they have ever heard, LOL.  

Looking forward to hearing a bit more data and information on both the NR distortion and the seemingly higher audio drive required for this load.
