I read a posting of yours sever= al months ago where you mentioned about some clipper diodes across your isolation transformer. I= lashed up a limiter here consisting of a 10 ohm series resistor then a back-to-back pair of diodes= . It's in the lead between my rig's external speaker jack and the input jack of my DSP-59+ filter. = It's really made a difference, with the overload light not coming on nearly as much, and I can run the re= ceiver's audio gain a lot higher to give Argo and other programs more signal to work with. That was= a good tip! 73, J.B., VE3EAR LowFER Beacon "EAR" 188.830 kHz. QRSS30 EN93dr
