When using some soundcards (it was probably some SoundBlaster not so
bad but not the best one) I used TX EQ for power conformity in all
used tones. Do not remember exactly now but output power vary by some
dB´s. It was possible to compensate power levels to one value by
playing with TX EQ (as frq of EQ are not just as WSJT tones are it was
really playing :-)).
Maybe there is also some influence of TX filter ripple etc. but no
serious measurements were done - simply output Power was aligned by EQ.
This is the story, maybe somebody else has more experience and
details/masurements.
I am also not sure what is done with phase of signal when EQ is in
action - this can be critical, I suppose. (but my sigs were decoded so
not destroyed by phase error in my case).
