The new audio mix feature for dual receiving is great, but I have a suggestion to improve it. Right now the mix doesn't show any right-left perception, apparently due to full mix between channels. Signals from both main and sub appear directly in front, so it's hard to tell which channel is which. It's desirable to have the sub appear a bit to the right, and the main a bit to the left. Then it's easy to ID which receiver you're listening to, regardless of the setting of the balance control.
The FT-1000D is a good example of how this can be done with partial mix, giving a perception of listening to separate channels. The sub audio appears a little to the right, and the main audio appears a bit to the left. That's still far, far better than complete stereo separation in my book. Yaesu apparently used about 25% mix to give this spacial perception, acc. to K7JA. If this feature is installed, it ought to capture the last of the FT-1000D holdouts. The FT-1000D is still a fine radio. 73, Jim W6YA ______________________________________________________________ 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
