Re: MFJ to go out of business
I remember when some had a fit about implementing SSB over AM. It was considered the radio mode destroyer but we got through it. Which Drake model had the best AM modulation?

Re: Old Drakes ALC
ALC was never intended to be a speech processing system. Undesirable things happen when you try to do that. I point (again) to SM5BSZ's work in this. https://www.sm5bsz.com/dynrange/alc.htm 73 -Jim

Re: MFJ to go out of business
Shrinking? New licensees are happening daily, preppers, and others. Contesting (which drives a lot of upscale buying) seems to be healthy. The problem for most businesses are cheap products one may

Re: MFJ to go out of business
Jim, I¡¯ve been thinking the same thing. OTOH, I have no idea what his sales figures are, vs pre-2020, and am not privy to his balance sheet. It could be a move to get a waffling buyer to commit.

Re: Old Drakes ALC
Any processor that causes the output signal to not be a perfectly linear reproduction of the input signal creates distortion. Even ALC systems cause distortion, albeit usually small and not a problem.
