Regarding headphones/speakers, the way I learnt it many years ago was that hi-fidelity transducers were generally a no-no in communications, primarily because frequency response and other distortions (if done correctly) aided in hearing desired signals. Of course, back then our receivers weren't even in the same ballpark as today's, with their audio processing/filtering capabilities and so forth, so I suppose it was more common to seek help by introducing distortions in the transducers themselves, like peaks in the frequency response that helped shape the signals.
That said, I do use my "hifi" headphones with my K's; I haven't tried my aviation headset yet though. I'm tempted to give that a go soon as I can retrieve it from the hangar. But I wonder if hi-fi speakers and headphones aren't still being too faithful to what's actually going into them electrically? Even on top-of-the-line rigs like ours? 73, LS W5QD -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Re-Pileup-Mush-was-audio-board-tp7615473p7615477.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
