It never bothered me all that much, actually. And since I started working for a company that makes dispatch consoles, I've learned that most of them have presets (harware or software, depending on the vintage) to set a minimum volume level for the reasons I mentioned. So now I tend to view it more as a "feature". Another way around the problem is to use some external gizmo like an amplified speaker, DSP unit, or the like, that has a volume control. I had one of the RadShack DSP units on my TR7 for a long time, it also worked well to reduce the high-frequency hiss in the audio when I was doing 10-meter satellite work. I'll probably hook it back up when I get the new shack finished. -- Jim Shorney -->.<--Put complaints in this box jshorney (at) inebraska.com nu0c (at) amsat.org Ham Radio NU0C Lincoln, NE, USA EN10ps http://incolor.inetnebr.com/jshorney/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - subscribe drakelist in body Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Brought to you courtesy of TLCHost.net http://www.tlchost.net/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
