Bill, What you are "missing" is that many operators *do* use compression and TX EQ for SSB work. DATA A is the same as SSB, but TX EQ is automatically turned off and the compression setting is set to zero. Other than those two items, DATA A is just like SSB - Oh, it will also remember that the audio input is on LINE IN (and remember the level) while one of the mic jacks is active for SSB mode.
If you never use voice SSB, your setup is just fine, but if you ever plug in a microphone to use SSB for voice work, you will likely end up setting up DATA A so you don't have to change menu entries and mess with the level settings when switching from voice to JT65 73, Don W3FPR On 8/12/2011 4:40 PM, cqbi...@q.com wrote: > I continue to be puzzled by this thread.
