This won't solve your problem, but it is a high pitched rear collision

One of those was the first shortwave rcvr I built long time ago! Worked great! I was amazed, there's voices in the air you can't hear!
 
>"I don't even remember that ;-) "

Ummm, that may have been me. It is only a concept right ow but the principle is that the microphone input is shunted by FETs. I want to lower the distortion of the microphone by actually damping the excursion of the diaphragm.. I also said I want to set up a test fixture to prove that it actually does that. People said I am unlikely to be able to prove it, but I think I can..

Even if not, the thing is a bank of FETs variably shunting the input directly so it cannot be overloaded. I also intend on a few other features as well, but the FET shunting is the main thing about it.

I did post about it but could not find suitable FETs, but then it occurred to me to just use a bunch of them in parallel.

I think I can design the whole thing myself but not completely sure. If not I will probably give you a call. I have not even written it up ad presented it to the money people. There is one component to this thing that is new, the rest of it is old technology but belongs there.

I can demonstrate the concept, but that means taking out one of my blank PC board and cutting up the copper with a Dremel and actually making that part of it. I have to scrub the shit out of them because they have photoresist on them.

But I DO have a working HP339A which measures down to 0.0016 % THD+N. When I do the demonstration it will be on a video from start to finish. That will make sales. And I have the market at the my fingertips. I really should move faster on this but I am lazy. To be honest, I am tired of working period, I just want money. Then whatever I do is a hobby. That is IF I can get something like this of the ground. I hope it is not like the F-35.

But there is some shit I must do first just to prove the concept. First I need a design, and I do that on paper. Then I need to prder a bunch of FETs, then I have to get out the Dremel and and make this compressor, which is really not, it is a damper. I have looked at the FETs out there and determined that the best thing to do is to use about 12 of them per channel. Six per side of the XLR input.

But it is all analog, not a digital piece in it. And the final product will actually have a reverb tank like a guitar amp but will mix in to L-R, in other words in opposite polarity in the channels. Then there is the issue of equalization.

All analog, runs off a wall wart so there is no UL, and it is probably simple enough I can have it built by one of those companies in Solon and can then say "MADE IN USA". Get up0 a hundred bucks for a provisional patent JUST ON THE DAMPER CIRCUIT which should be easily prosecutable and leave the Chinese out of it for a while and keep all the money here.

Later, we just let RSQ make it, which has everything made by Apex, wherever they are. By then the patent isn't worth shit, so just get them built cheaper and make the money.

I would like to see a price point at about $250, and I am pretty sure the people in Solon can make them for $100. Later, we shift production to China or Korea via RSQ which we own half of and just forget patents and all that and make the money because we have the market.

By the time we lose the market for whatever reason, I will probably be dead.. I am not healthy.

I'll call you if I need you, and that won't happen until the money people OK this, so it will be there. If they do not want to do it, then we talk a whole different thing. I can find their competitors. I can deal with someone else. I can also finance this whole thing myself but I don't want to.

I'll know more about how tis is going to go in the next couple weeks. I think they'll bite, and bankroll the thing. Why they bought into RSQ is a fucking mystery. Maybe they're rich and this is just a hobby. If so, so what ? As long as they put out.

If the diaphragm is pretty reflective you maybe could point a laser
pointer at it and note how far the dot moves side to side on a screen
of some sort as the laser reflects off of the diaphragm and impinges
on the screen. If the diaphragm is not so reflective then maybe a tiny
piece of foil could be glued to it, or maybe even some reflective
paint. The screen could have a graph drawn on it so it would be easy
to estimate the travel of the laser dot. Then trig out the angles and
you will know how much linear movement of the diaphragm is damped.
Kinda crude but it may be enough to convince someone.

"'d like to level this, without adjusting the transmitter input level
each time I switch internet stations.

Did you ever listen to these radio shows as a youngster?
Gunsmoke, William Conrad voices Matt Dillion, The Six Shooter with
Jimmy Stewart, Dragnet with Jack Webb, Bold Venture staring Humphrey
Bogart and Lauren Bacall, The Adventures of Philip Marlowe,
Our Miss Brooks with Eve Arden, and of course The Shadow?

* I often listen to Old Time Radio Programs, and there can be a level
difference between shows. "

If you are talking not music, simple compression should do the trick and maybe even improve intelligibility when outdoors. Wind blows, there are noises. These new movies with all the dynamic range bug me. You have to turn the damn thing all the way up to hear the dialog and then a car blows up and the 700 watt surround system wakes the neighbors in the next damn county. Some TVs have compressors in them now for that reason. I wanted to build an addon box to do that but the way they are designed now it is damnear impossible.

And in contrast, FM music is compressed so hard it is almost not worth listening to. I even have a Pioneer dynamic range exander and it can't do shit with FM. Does real nice on cassette tapes and LPs, and even CDs but you have to turn it down for the CDs, but FM has such a constant level it has nothing to work with.

Now for voice, I consider that OK.

But hard compression should do you just fine for old time radio shows, they didn't have much dynamic rage anyway. If you don't want it to sound too compressed use a long time constant.

Now the content. Someone told me that they guy who pl;ayed Cannon in the TV series did the original voice for Matt Dillon. When they went to TV they did not want an overweight Matt Dillion so he didn't get the job, but they got him a gig on that show. James Arnez was a friend of John Wayne I think, or someone and they offered him the role of Matt Dillon but he said he doesn't do TV, but he has the phone number of a guy who would be just right for it. That's how he got the role. I rally like the opening scene in some of them. One season the opener was him shooting someone and he gets this intense look in his eyes like "You better be fucking dead or I am going to shoot you again". I also like the scene in one where Doc warns this guy that if he beat up his pregnant Wif again he would kill him. Later the guy beat up his Wife and Doc shot him. The other guy in the room said "You killed him" and Doc said "I meant to". I never heard the radio version of the show.

However I did hear a Dragnet, but I don't remember it. I remember an episode where they busted a TV tech for overcharging. they marked all the parts with UV ink and purposely burnt out the filament of the 5U4 rectifier. This guy was talking about the vertical blocking transformer. They actually used to call them that. But he charged like $15 for the job and they considered that fraud. Toward the end of my TV career almost every job was over $100, in fact many over $300.

I have a disk called OTR that has alot of these old shows but have not listened to them all. Some of them are pretty funny but so out of cotext with today it is hard to get the humor at times. I also have the collectuion of FR Couglin's broadcasts. He was shut down for being too politically incorrect. One of the things he brought up is how come all these supposed government agencies are incorporated in Delaware. The IRS is, the WPA was, and a whole bunch more. Except the IRS most of them are now defunct, but why would they incorporate ? Nobody has been able to satisfactorily answer that question to this day. And my buddy had certified copies of the IRS' official incorporation paper from the state of Delaware. He is dead so I do not know who has them, his family was a bunch of assholes so they probably threw them out. He got along with his family so well that he gave me his gun before he died. But I have scans of them and they do show the notary stamp clearly enough. You can get the certified copies as well if you want, but what's the point ? He used them well and became classified as a non-taxpayer as well as another friend of mine. But I do not recommend the process. You really got to have your shit together to do things like that.

Maybe I can clean things up so I can Dropbox you that disk. If you are into that old shit you might like it. Actually my eyesight is getting to the point where maybe I WILL listen to old time radio.
 
"I designed a compressor for a hearing aid about 48 years ago...
testing it before I got it working correctly... blew a hole in my >left
eardrum :-( "

That'll learn ya.

Ears are funy things, some people have very strong ones, I used to. The speakers at the rock concert say "STAY TEN FEET AWAY OR HEARING DAMAGE WILL OCCUR". Well I got right up to them and my hearing stayed fine for a long time. Long enough to rule out causation of my loss now. The next day I could still hear a pin drop. I had headphones that did over 136 dB and still I could hear a conversation from three rooms away. Someone said something about me and I yelled HEY and they were seriously surprised that I could hear them.

When the black mold hit it fucked up my eyesight and hearing. It is like I aged about 40 years in 2. It must have attacked my inner ear because my balance sucks, when it used to be pretty good. The doctors could not find the problem because black mold has no set of symptoms to go by, which is essential for any type of effective troubleshooting. We found it in my house when I had to move.

Now I have to use an equalizer to be able to understand like a movie or something. And it is set pretty radical. For example on a five band the 60 would be all the way up, the 250 all the way down ad the rest in pretty much a straight line to the top with the 15K all the way up. Then I can hear.

Actually I find white on black alot easier on my eyes and more legible. I need a humorectomy in both eyes and a cataract done in one. What is that, about three hundred grand ? No insurance. I got a 17" wide monitor in 1024 and the browser set in zoom, I think 125 % mode and I can just barely read it..

I also wonder, back in the CRT day, who decided on black on white. It makes sense on paper but not on a CRT. White on black is alot easier on a CRT, but then they always wanted stuff to wear out and go to the landfill so they can sell another one.
 
>"Are there movies with dialog anymore? "

No. LOL

"What bugs me in the incessant need to have dialog-overpowering
"background" music. "

My Grandfather used to bitch about that back in the 1960s or so. He also pronounced "technicolor" with a long "I". Like "tek-nye-color". They have been doing that for some time now, but it has gotten worse lately. Surround sound makes it even worse actually, to the point where they had to add that center channel so you could even hear the dialog. I remember my system in the early 1990s which was quadrophonic and I didn't have that problem.

Talk about a mess. I had the Advent 60" with the silver screen and the mirror in front. Matarnz quad in strapped mode with the rears going through a Sansui, separate equalizers for front and rear, both bet and VHS set up to he able to record both ways. Just the cables cost as much as a cheap new TV.

But watching Days Of Thunder the cars going around the track really did go around the speakers. On Star Trek when the Enterprise came at you and went off screen, the whoosh noise did move to the rear speakers.

But the dialog was loud enough to hear, plus these movies had a real plot. Not just special effects, which seem to be the trend now. Not that I would know. Hell, I got 20 or so movies on my PC I haven't watched. I might die first, but then whoever gets my stuff can watch them, if they can find them. I do not let Windows put my stuff where it wants, I make a new directory. Lately I've been using My Documents a little too much but I will get around to moving stuff out of there.

Also about this new media, some of it looks like they let an eight year old run the camera. Looks like pan and scan all the time but it isn't. That is how the idiots wanted it shot. I can't stand it.

And now, for example my Mother watches some TV. we have had the discussion about the fact that back when we only had five channels we had to sit down and talk about what to watch, like on a Friday night. Now we got 500 channels and there is nothing on that is worth a shit. She is down to watching reality TV, she has been through all the Gordon Ramsay stuff and the Hoarders and is now on the ones where they flip houses.

No plot. No creativity unless you count their feng shui. But there is another thing, who buys these expensive houses ad wants them already remodeled. I want the place old and I will pick out the stuff. I wonder how any people buy those houses and just tear half the shit out and do it their way.

Anything I would watch would be 20 years old or more. Like Outer Limits. Both the old and the new, they brought up interesting issues actually that played on the mid. Moral issues about what should be doe with certain technology ad whatnot, but even the new series started in 1995. If you ever watched Star Trek you know how they are, and most of them are 20 years old or more.

But now, I have burned through about everything I consider watching. I go through the lists on hulu and there is nothing, even paid, that intrigues me at all. I went through a bunch of stuff on youtube, and believe me with this older software I get really good video performance. It always nags me to update but no way, it works just fine. Kick it into full screen and it is like TV.

But there is nothing to watch. So what I do now is talk politics and get thrown off of websites.

I'm not sure about measured dynamic range, but there are situations in
many of the shows that cause me a problem. When the cowboy is behind the
rocks talking very low to his partner, so as not to be heard by the bad
guy, the level is to low, but then the music comes on and I need to turn
it down.

I moved the FM antenna away from the limiter, it helped. The unit
lacks a bypass switch, making a comparison impossible. Adding a switch
may be a future project.
Still have a hum, that comes and goes, or is more noticeable at times,
if I touch the unit it goes away.



If you don't want it to sound too compressed use a long time constant.
Now the content. Someone told me that they guy who played Cannon in the TV series did the original voice for Matt Dillon.

Yep, I'm listening to Gunsmoke as I write, William Conrad is his name.

I never heard the radio version of the show.


Matt Dillion and Chester Proudfoot are about the same character, doc
is a little more goofy acting at times and Kitty, well there are a
couple of episodes where her history is presented as she may have been a
women of ill repute and she's not treated well by the refined folks at
the big dance, Matt soothes the situation. She is not the bar owner, and
in a recent show, she quit one bar and went to another.
I know exactly what Dodge's main street and the jail look like.
Well, in my mind! :)

I can't find a good schedule, I'm not sure the show it.

There is a lot of crossover of the actors between shows,
you hear Chester (Parley Baer) and Doc (Howard McNear) voices on
several shows.



> However I did hear a Dragnet, but I don't remember it. I remember an episode where they busted a TV tech for overcharging.

Dragnet is one I enjoy, don't care for Sherlock Holmes, but it's played
a lot.
Bold Venture is enjoyable with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.
The Sixshooter with Jimmy Stewart is good also.


They marked all the parts with UV ink and purposely burnt out the

he charged like $15 for the job and they considered that fraud.

Toward the end of my TV career almost every job was over $100, in
fact many over $300.

I repaired VCR's in the 80's and early 90's. $24.50 to get an estimate,
$39 to clean the heads and repairs were $78 to $117, no matter how many
times I had made the same repair, VCR's like a lot of products often
have the same part fail.

I have a disk called OTR that has alot of these old shows but have not listened to them all.

Maybe I can clean things up so I can Dropbox you that disk. If you are into that old shit you might like it. Actually my eyesight is getting to the point where maybe I WILL listen to old time radio.

No need, I have three station on my internet radio that play old time
radio 24 hrs a day. Lots on Youtube and other sites as well.

Plenty of science programing.
Movies, pick your type, you can watch full length
old and new movies, 10's of thousands.
Detective shows, real life police dramas, comedies,
cooking, I enjoyed the the guy that did the science of cooking, Alton Brown.
Car shows, weight loss, I'm in awe of the 600lb people, how in the hell
did they do that. Plastic surgery, history, omg, how much history can
you take in. Poker, motorcycle and car racing, sports of all kinds,
documentaries take your pick of topics, never ending.
There's so much more and that's just on any number of streaming TV media
players, heck you can even get cable and have more!
On the other hand, if you have any kind of life, there's not enough
time to watch all the TV you want to watch.

link in RED, Click on it and listen live. "

Actually I find white on black alot easier on my eyes and more legible. I need a humorectomy in both eyes and a cataract done in one. What is that, about three hundred grand ? No insurance. I got a 17" wide monitor in 1024 and the browser set in zoom, I think 125 % mode and I can just barely read it.

I also wonder, back in the CRT day, who decided on black on white. It makes sense on paper but not on a CRT. White on black is alot easier on a CRT, but then they always wanted stuff to wear out and go to the landfill so they can sell another one.

a white field contract the pupil making focus sharper.

I often create a pinhole with my forefinger and thumb when I need to
see small print. I did it this morning when I was trying to read the
output voltage on a switching power supply.

I use the solderless proto boards all the time for simple circuit development contrary to what most here would recommend. However I don't mess with RF anymore. Those days are past never to return. Most permanent projects (control related) get transferred to soldered version and used. No problems thus far. Would always recommend using appropriate materials for anything RF or any other purpose requiring it.

I prefer this...

One of my clients had a customer that was trying to breadboard an HV
OpAmp circuit with "fritzing", so he was "referred" to me for
assistance. I had no idea what "fritzing" was... but the customer
never showed, so I was an easy solution ;-)

If you want to get down and dirty with wire-wrap wire, I prefer this:

A 6809 doesn't bounce very high. :)

Not debouncing the 6809 processor, but a button. I need to wire the
button to the processor. But then, maybe we need to debounce registers
in a processor... :)
