If you enjoy playing around listening and maybe talking with other hams non-fatiguing audio is rather nice when relying upon reflections from the ionosphere.
What digital enables has dramatic benefits for getting rid of interference, but I doubt little thought is given to it's effect on audio quality. For me, this holds true even for Copying Morse Code.

Hi Bob
Glad you chimed in.You are absolutely correct about how digital formats can be advantageous in that we don't have to deal with noise from static crashes and changes in propagation. I worked CW more in last year than I have in the 7 years prior to that. I'm seeing a lot more activity now than in years past.

Greetings once again para Sactown, Michael. Seems like world band receiver audio response changed in the late 80s. Until then, audio was fairly hi-fi in quality, especially when fed to audio amps. Afterwards, audio quality became more mid-centric, with relatively little highs or lows in the mix. Frog 7 has hi-fi audio, but ICOM R-75 is more mid-centric. Even after stereoadvisors' Luis modded unit for better fidelity in synchronous AM mode (in comparison, ICOM R-71A has more hi-fi'ish-quality audio from modded audio amp). BTW, would love to have your relatively quiet propogation background. There's always a blanket of digital hash across the spectrum from nearby Sactown County Communications Centre. 73s para Sactown

QST published an article back in 2005 or so how all noise from digital data such as computers,plasma TVs,cell phones,etc,were ruining HF communications and then they wanted to put broadband over the power lines and we so happy after lobbying FCC to stop it.
