[Elecraft] lousy audio ham radios
You guys crack me up. On the one hand, some of us are trying to get as narrow as possible (200hz) and on the other hand, some of us are looking for high-fidelity, surround sound, theatre quality. Gee whiz...this is ham radio (communications). This is not your home theatre (dolby 5.1 etc). Speakers? What's a speaker? I haven't used a speaker since 1967 when I learned how to plug in a set of headphones. You'll have plenty of drive (enough to blow your ears off, I'm sure) and you can get a hi fi set of 'phones for not much $ (or spend as much as you like). Good luck getting a rig to match the quality and range of the 'phones. I use communciations headphones...great on CW, rather restricted on SSB (but then again, I have mostly forgetten the phone.). If I want to hear 20 to 20k, I'm not going to use ham radio as the driver. Each to his own (a liberal paraphrasing of Don's comment). I do hope and pray that the audio output is not tarnished with hisss and noise (ala the Drake TR7 - great front end for its day, worst audio amp ever made). Must be the doldrums of summer...at least here in the Northern Hemisphere! LOL de Doug KR2Q ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] lousy audio ham radios
I asked a wisened ham about voice guys striving for that perfect mic for the perfect sound and then you see CW guys with a shelf filled with keys, each key used at different times and why is that, to which he replied, 'quite simple, one voice, ten fingers.' de Joe, aa4nn You guys crack me up.
