Okay Joe,
Your point is very well taken.. I understand what you are saying very clearly.
I have the scope, and I've set it to look at phase between the two channels. I
guess I need to clarify something. When I'm in diversity mode I don't seem to
have both signals on both antennas at the same time.
This is where we are having a problem communicating. I'm not going to disagree
with your theory that the signals WOULD cancel out the stereo imaging if I were
to push one phase onto the other. I believe this is true, and I know it for
fact.
However, where I am having an issue is when my poor receiving Vertical antenna
is NOT receiving a signal my Well receiving Horz antenna is, and then Some
times reverse. I would like to be able to "mix" the main onto the sub, and the
sub onto the main's earphone
For me, the need for the audio mixer is not to crush the stereo XY, but more to
let me receive while in diversity mode BOTH of my antennas at the same time,
and let the mixer route my audio to both headsets so as I don't have to listen
to it fall from one over another.
Admittedly, I don't have the best "diversity" set up here at my QTH, so for me
it's more important that I keep a constant signal in both ears rather than one
at a time.
Now, just for the sake of it, I would like you to tune to a signal that you are
having the phasing sound with in diversity mode. Then, go to the utility and
enter in !BEFF; in the terminal window. I would then like you to email me
back and let me know that you didn't hear BOTH of your antennas at the same
time, in both ears. I would be interested to know if you get NO signal at all
from the same very station you were just listening to in both ears. Or even a
reduced signal level. From my experience I've never had a signal cancel on me,
I've only had it double in loudness. I'm sorry, I know this goes against what
we both agree on when it comes to XY phase, but it's just the way it is. Do it
for yourself and stop thinking theory.. Try reality. (I don't mean that as an
insult, but rather a practical challenge.)
Again, even if this was the worst idea, it's still not going to affect YOUR rig
if you never turn it on. This isn't an argument.. I was merely backing up the
reasoning that the other person made the request. So, other than your return
email to me after you've completed my test, can we PLEASE end this thread? Were
beating a dead horse.
