Wow, that made a big difference in the SSB receive performance. The audio is no longer choppy on strong signals due to the mute/unmute bug plus the expanded AF gain envelope makes setting the listening level a real easy task now. The internal speaker actually sounds very close to natural now, even at volume levels approaching the new max of 60.
Now, I hope this can be ported over to the CW audio as well. Audio EQ optimization for speaker usage on CW with smoother AF Gain setting control similar to that achieved for SSB would be real nice.
