Hi, No, I had not noticed that. I updated last night and worked several 80m DX contacts (80m was in fantastic shape last night), but did not solicit nor receive any audio reports. But I had no problems being heard and copied. I also did not notice any difference in the ALC readings nor did I notice any change in my analog metering of the RF output. I run with a compression setting of 20.
This is not the first time people are reporting mysterious and apparently unintended changes to the audio processing, both on the receive and transmit side. And almost never do we hear any confirmations or denials from Elecraft. Are you sure the changes are for real or could it be that your buddies have developed a reduced tolerance for processed audio over time? Could Elecraft please indicate whether there are any intended changes to the transmit audio processing in version 2.58?
