For a normal voice link there is no reason to have a dynamic range at the TX input (mike) in excess of 40dB so I fear that no constructor will do any efford to increase the dynamic range at the TX input. 73, Rik ON7YD >If you can hear/see signals on your local setup the FM relayed signal will >be only a tiny bit worse due to additional distortion introduced by the >additional modulation and demodulation processes. > >There is no additional dynamic range needed on the proviso that the receiver >is the same or comparable. > >Larry >VA3LK
