Hi Shorty, >Flat Audio through a repeater simply means that the repeater >does not mess with the audio through-put.
I know that's what you and others mean, but that's not what learners see. More and more listmembers are routinely talking about "flat audio from the discriminator", and I know they know better. But "flat audio" has now entered the lexicon the wrong way, and there's going to be more confusion. >The repeater should leave the through-put audio alone, and >your repeater will sound just like simplex does. No audio processing >should be done inside the repeater, period. We've studied this issue as well, and found that the limiter and lowpass filter are the main roadblocks to good audio -- the pre-emphasis and de-emphasis circuits themselves weren't. 73, Bob, WA9FBO ________________________________________________________________________ AOL now offers free email to everyone.
