Thank you Lee for bringing up this valuable feature of the Flex and other SDR equipment. Proper use of compression (or clipping) together with equalizers and filters makes high power amplifiers unnecessary in many cases. Try this concept and you'll find that you can manage in DX pileups with much less of output power. The DSP can make this function better than those clumsy hard wired processors of the yesteryears. Since some time already I'm using 10 W only.
Please, don't pollute the scarce nature's resource, the electromagnetic spectrum. Save and use small and smart power on HF rather than heat waves on the infrared bands. ;-) 73, Ahti OH2RZ 2009/3/18 Lee A Crocker <lee_croc...@yahoo.com>: > Ahti OH2RZ recently sent a link to an article that looked at the K3 speech > processor. > > http://www.cliftonlaboratories.com/elecraft_k3_speech_processing.htm > > I found it interesting you need a room full of test equipment to analyze the > K-3's performance.
