But you don't want the equalizer in digital modes as that messes up the response and results in poorer decoding. The only change that makes sense in any of the digital modes is (flat) level and that can be done with CONFIG: LIN OUT. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 2/7/2011 2:19 PM, Brian Alsop wrote

Joe, We very specifically singled out FSK-D for this request. No other digital mode would be impacted. If one introduced say 6 db in the segment covering 2KHz and up to the next equalizer breakpoint, I don't see how this can mess up decoding. The gain increase is constant in the segment. 73

Add "in equalizer" to the request. Right now it knows to turn it off in FSK-D. 73 de Brian/K3KO On 2/4/2011 22:41, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: > >>> Unfortunately, one can't bump up audio output in FSK-D. > > What do you mean "can't bump up audio output in FSK-D?" The speaker > or headphone level

Unfortunately, one can't bump up audio output in FSK-D. I use a modem which only can use 2 KHz tones. The drop in perceived audio level is quite high there for me. Even if low tones were used, there would still be a significant loss. What say Elecraft? Why not let us bump up one segment? F

Slightly off the subject (Blue Tooth), but I wear Phonak Savia OTE hearing aids and they have a high-fidelity program selection. This is for flat freq. response up to 22-KHz for music and television listening. I definitely can tell the improvement even with > 30dB hearing degradation and loss
