Brett, can you make an mp3 recording of what you're hearing? Maybe you could post it to the AM forum where a number of Flex users hang out. I do hear a buzzy quality on audio peaks during selective fades when listening in the AM mode that I never hear with the SAM detector. When listening to strong signals on the AM broadcast band with the AM detector stations always sound perfect.

I made a pre-processed recording of an extremely clean AM signal (It's another Flex so of course its clean!) on 80 meters yesterday. I then used video/audio capture software to make two recordings as I played it back with the AM detector and then again with the SAM detector so exactly the same conditions are present in both recordings. The distortion that I hear with the AM detector can be clearly heard as the signal is tossed around during selective fading. That distortion is not present at the same points of the second recording when the SAM detector is being used. I'm not sure what can be done by the user to clean up the "buzzy" quality while using the AM detector, unless some optimization can be done in the DSP tab's AGC settings of PowerSDR.

Does the first recording with the AM detector resemble what you are hearing?

I have a hard time believing that no one else hears this, its quite nasty on
my radio using headphones.
