RE: World Band Receiver Audio Changed In Late 80s

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
