Gerald makes some good points; however, not all audiophiles share his views.
Nu9N has an excellent site regarding enhanced single side band audio in amateur radio applications. I strongly recommend a vist. http://www.nu9n.com/tx.html John P.

Any listed can be near 'broadcast' quality with the right amount of equalization already provided in PowerSDR. Be sure NOT to check the "160kHz notch" box if you want full broadcast quality. Try not to set the low cutoff on the transmit tab lower than 50 Hz. Lower is annoying to most who can hear it. SSB cannot legally be 'broadcast quality' within 3.5kHz band pass. The only exception to the above is the use of "split-spectrum processing". There the audio is split into lower, medium and high frequency bands and the differing amounts of compression and companding applied to each before mixing. Such processing produces a smooth broad spectrum equally loud presence most noticeable when listeners are tuning across the broad-cast bands looking for stations. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
