(Snip) I stand in defence of Alexandr on this, it was something I asked for before the first production run - I'm still having treatment for the burns - so please, accept that not everyone feels this is not a good idea (just as I would defend you for asking for wide-band Tx in VK because your band plans are different). As long as this is configurable, I don't see where the problem is. If VK decide this is unacceptable in VK, then people wont use it there. However, it is acceptable over here in G land and is used quite a lot on V/UHF - there are two factions here, those that think it helps in poor conditions, and those that think it looses you a second during the over - not come across any that feel it makes it harder or distracting - I personally quite like the idea. 73 de M0XDF (End Snip)
I do NOT support wide band modes on ssb for example, nor after market audio enhancers that take up excessive bandwidth. We too have boat anchor operators running wide band equalisers trying to sound like FM stations and they are NOT popular with a very large number of VK Hams. I have found very few operators here that view roger beeps as a good thing. The problem arises when the operator does NOT turn it off when it is not needed. To say you use it on FM/AM may be fine, BUT, the question remains, will, say in ssb, the operator remember to turn it off? 73's Gary Sent via BlackBerry® from Telstra ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
