>From G3PLX: Lee:
Yes, this is what I have discovered the hard way. I was naively expecting the new 24-bit device to be 8 bits better than my old 16-bit card, but I have learnt that it isn't that simple. But this latest discovery is not just about specmanship. There's something odd going on in the hardware which I can't quite work out, and I was hoping someone 'in the know' might explain it. Why is there a low-frequency noise in the lower bits superimposed on the main full-bandwidth signal in the higher bits. By the way, I discovered why the bottom two bits were zero and I hadn't noticed it before. There's a '+12dB gain' button on the control panel. Guess what it does? Guess where I had it set the first time I checked? It's not a 12dB pre-amp, it's a 2-bit good-for-nothing left-shift! 73 Peter _______________________________________________ FlexRadio mailing list FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archive Link: http://mail.flex-radio.biz/pipermail/flexradio_flex-radio.biz/ FlexRadio Homepage: http://www.flex-radio.com
