Hi.
I wonder how that would be affected by the use of an external
speaker. Seems like the audio here is very rich and room filling, but then
I use about a 4 inch speaker mounted in an enclosure on the wall above the
operating position and it is much better than the internal speaker.
Personally, I am not as fond of the DSP filtering in the TS2000S as I was
in the crystal filters employed in some of the older radios. I find that
sometimes the DSP can sound kind of watery, especially if you are trying to
do noise reduction, and it is just not a real pleasing effect.
