Voice of Nigeria - what's up with their audio?

A potent signal to say the least, would have been easy armchair copy except for one thing - their audio is terrible. The sound is either muffled, or overmodulated, or the high tones are omitted, or something, but the distortion makes an otherwise great African signal almost unlistenable much of the time. Any ideas what their problem might be? Thanks, Bruce Jensen They are using the Optimod processor. LOL! |

Technical incompetence? Perhaps ;-) but like I said, I'd hate to see their engineers get fired (or worse)...it's probably something an hour and $5 worth of parts could fix - or maybe just turning a knob. |

Thanks, Bruce Jensen Bruce -- been this way for years (decades) -- Nigeria and Egypt similar in this regard. . . . -- dxace1 Yepp, thanks, noticed that too. Diametrically opposite ends of the Sahara, but both are right in sync when it comes to their audio. |
