Pahrump Receiver Audio Frequency Response Equalization
A Romac 10-Band Equalizer is used to compensate for media stream encoding/decoding frequency response distortions.

Art Bell, W6OBB, uses the Romac 10-Band Equalizer shown above to make the audio frequency response from the output of his Icom 756ProII in Pahrump to the output of your computer sound card flatter than it otherwise would be, so the sound quality you hear more closely approximates the sound quality at the receiver.

The poly-clad window feed-line that connects the inverted-v HF receiving antenna to the Icom transceiver inside the FM broadcast station building can be seen extending down to the right from the tower midpoint.

The HF inverted-v receiving antenna and poly-clad window feed-line are easier to see in this close-up view.

I really would like to visit KNYE one day.

I’ve been to old KDWN that was in the Plaza Hotel in Las Vegas.
