no, they are accurate. its just that the stock preamp brickwalls.
Latest word, btw...
is that the parts doug is waiting on have been bumped back to Dec.
so, the options are BC mod, which will probably sound stock, but will not brickwall. Like the Omod for the FR2.
this is an assumption..btw.
or, just buy a stock one (he gives an excellent price to tapers, lower than i've seen anywhere) and run a preamp in front of it for a while.
thats my plan. time to put that 248 back into deployment.
