Since I am the troublemaker that started this thread I want to say thanks to Bob and Todd. I will admit that I have enjoyed watching this thread veer off toward the moon and I will also say I enjoyed reading all the different comments. I agree with Bob's summation. Right on. If I wanted to run a broadcast station I would buy one. As Todd summed it up I am going to make the recommended audio changes to the KW-1 including jumpering the clipper and eliminating the splatter filter. I will start with the Shure 55SH that I have and may also try other mics. But it will stop there. No outboard processing, equalizing, or compressing. Thanks to all that responded and now maybe you can help with the request for D104 rebuilding that I just posted
