Hi Lee, Is your R-4 the "...just-plain-ol'-original-R-4" version, with no "A", "B", or "C" suffix...?
If so, welcome to my world! Hi Hi. One doesn't hear too much about the R-4, it seems---but to me, it's the one that started it all, Hi Hi. ~73~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ PS: YES, I agree with you 101%! If ever a rig could actually make CW sound like music to one's ears (which you hear a LOT of, when referencing AM fone reception), the R-4 is, indeed, that rig! ****************************************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: Lee Hiers Cc: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, February 06, 2011 11:00 AM Subject: Re: [Drakelist] DSP Filters On Sun, Feb 6, 2011 at 9:54 AM, J.

Digital recordings that were originally recorded on analog media sound marginally better to some folks than all-digital recordings. Similarly, photographs taken on film that are scanned in become digital photos, yet they still retain a bit of the original film character that can't *quite* be duplicated in an all-digital workflow. I am really enjoying the sound of my newly-acquired R4 on 40 cw...it sounds better than any rig I've used in the past 30 years - while it may not have the best ultimate performance, the "sound" is wonderful. I think an audio DSP filter would detract from that somewhat...but I can also imagine conditions where the use of such a device would be an acceptable compromise...and the radio would still "sound better" thank a newer rig with the same DSP device. Just some rambling... 73 de Lee _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
