Ed, I use external audio gear and keep the Flex transmit audio unchecked or flat, but the external gear is so that the other radios in my station will sound the same.. But since I almost exclusively use the Flex, I could just connect my microphone directly into the sound card (or box in the case of the FireBox and Fa-66) and not have any of this external gear. A little over a year ago, the equalization options were changing with every version and did make it difficult to keep up with, but even the Alpha versions have been stable for quite a while, so operating directly in is now a good option. Now we even have a noise gate like the IHY boxes, in the console..
I love this radio stuff!! 73, Dudley WA5QPZ At 02:15 PM 1/29/2007, Edwin Marzan wrote: >Hardware defined versus software defined. > >Do FlexRadio Owners really need outboard equipment (equalizers, compressors, >noise gates etc) in order to get that high fidelity sound on AM and SSB? > >Can all of the parameters that create the hi fi sound be created in >software?
