During the NAQP SSB contest in January, I heard a single-op somewhere in the midwest calling CQ with a steady S9 +20db signal that was so overcompressed that he was literally not understandable. Nobody was answering him, but lots of guys were commenting on his bad signal behind his back. So

Excellent page. It confirms that the point of diminishing returns is compression of 25. Very effective and some 10db stronger than no compression. When the signals are strong, few see benefits of going below 15. So 15 for ragchewing and 25 for DX. Ignacy NO9E Jack Smith-6 wrote: > > I've ad

I've added a page with some measurements of the K3's RF speech clipping functionality, including sample sound records, oscilloscope envelope views and spectrum analyzer captures. http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/elecraft_k3_speech_processing.htm Jack K8ZOA www.cliftonlaboratories.com
