Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Audio response and Long distant QSO's (was: Suggestions Please)
: : : Jeff: You are too logical!! Wideband for strong signals, narrowband for : weak signals. Almost all AM signals in Nebraska are weak so I : guess that makes me "narrow minded". By the way, there are several : systems that automatically adjust either audio or IF bandwidth : depending upon signal strength (AVC) or signal to noise ratio. : I have used both until DSP came along. Good luck in your discussion. Charlie, (and Bill and others) the whole point is, why are some hams trying to sound better than most broadcast stations? If you listen to most broadcast stations, there's some distortion there that you'd hope you'd never see on your Ham station, but those stations are TRYING to pass frequencies lower than 50hZ - in fact, they're trying to pass as low as 30hZ and that requires some BIG iron, UNLESS you're using PWM/PDM. Methinks most mic equalizers could use some tweaking, and some rolling off of the bass. 73 = Best Regards, -=Jeff/W5OMR=-
