[Elecraft] oh no, another crazy audio idea from Holland

[pd0psb]

Hi Brendan,

Thanks for you reply!

If you think, my idea is to bring an audiostudio into an HF tranceiver,
that's not at all what I would like.
I quite dislike all the bass heavy overprocessed signals on the band.
My thought's are only "what ifs" for best SSB reception..

Great SSB receivers from the past I think stood out for:
-excellent RF capabilties (K3 status : done cum laude)
-the most pleasant/natural audio curve to listen to (K3 status: ...well...)
-the most "unnoticable" AGC action (K3 status: almost all the way there)

I just wonder if  slightly desensing the AGC for frequencies in the 1-3KHz
audio range in voice mode may help to add that last bit of "rest".

Multi (audio) band AGC belongs in outboard gear if this is something you
really feel will add to your enjoyment of the radio

Multi-band compression (IF DONE RIGHT..) may further improve the average
power in SSB whilst maintaining intelligibility, However most of the
Multiband processed audio I hear on the HF bands is too wide (lots of LF
energy complete with the in-band IMD it can cause) or over-done, enough
fidelity is lost that it actually degrades the ability to copy the
station on a noisy band.
