Equally revealing is the audio gram of the average over 70 American male’s high frequency response. I’d show you mine but it’s so bad it’s classified. Typically falls off dramatically in the high end over time. Mine looks like Niagara Falls. Glad to have some way to electronically compensate

I remember reading a magazine article many years ago... They showed a hole of frequencies in the normal human voice audio spectrum where there is not much energy. It was proposed to create a new modulation where the higher frequencies would be shifted down into the hole - thus letting the SSB

Oh yes it is there on many SSB signals where the OP is a male. That is where most of the fundamental male voice energy occurs. Those signals which look uniform across the SSB TX bandpass do sound good. I attribute this to the fact most hams will "boost this and boost that" and never give

Ha! When my K3S PA output stage died, I had to pull out my Ten-Tec Eagle and press it into service. Out came the Tascam USB box and back up and running digital. Oddly (?) my TX/RX ratios seem to be doing better than when using the K3S built-in audio. Probably, just don't have enough data
