For sure! Same with current music. No extra charge for the distorted sound. Reminds me of a case some 45 years ago involving broadcast signal quality where I was testifying as the FCC's engineering expert. Those of us with engineering backgrounds knew that what I was referring to as "pre-distortion" was the pre-emphasis / de-emphasis curves commonly used in FM broadcast audio chains. The non-engineer lawyers jumped up and down "what, they are intentionally distorting the station's sound?" Took a while to educate them from the witness box. 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
