[TimeWave-AEA] Need DSP-599zx info

[John Hirth]

According to hardened CW contesters this feature is supposed to be able to
make it easier to pick out one CW signal from among many that are very
closely spaced, as is normally the case in a contest. Under these
conditions essentially all of the signals within your passband will differ
somewhat in tone. This feature spreads the signals out from left to right,
depending on the tone of each signal. Apparently, this "spatial
separation", in addition to the tonal separation, makes it easier for the
brain to pick one signal out of the many.

On their web site Ten-Tec has a .wav file and explanation of their 3
dimensional spatial audio "Panoramic Stereo" feature on their new Orion,
which is somewhat similar in effect. You can get to it here:

BTW, I also agree that my older 599zx is better than the DSP in my
FT1000-MP.
