....which is 774.6 millivolts into 600 ohms, or roughly 1 volt peak or 2 volts p-p. > IMHO all manufacturers should return to the tradidional > definaton. I like the idea of an adjustment in level, but all line outputs should be able to deliver clean signal at .775 volts RMS into 600 ohms with a headroom of several dB. If it can not do .775 volts RMS cleanly into 600 ohms, it is not line level. ______________________________________________________________ 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
