2149 - guitar music
2301 - Fingerprints- The Allen Carman Project] still alot of fading but coming in pretty strong now
2308 - YL ID into SSTV
2312 - Carrier OFF

[Ron Hunsicker]

6930.68 here too with the Elad S3.  Often unusable due to a weak signal and noise.  Carrier is only about 23 dB above the noise--not enough here--30 dB difference is much better.  6400 Hertz bandwidth seems a compromise between fidelity and noise.

All this smooth jazz makes me feel like I've been on the phone on hold waiting for customer service for a couple hours. 

Seriously now:  Audio is pretty good. Good signal into a mid-Atlantic SDR. SINPO 55455.

The only complaint (and it is a very small complaint) is very slight FMing only noticeable I think when you turn on a synchronous detector (SAM, SAS, etc.) that tends to produce a little bit of audio distortion in those receiving modes. Not noticeable when listening in AM mode, as far as I can tell.

2312 - TX off.
