It has, when switched to 25 KHz, but the filtering of course also narrows
audo bandwidth.

6 KHz is to much fur 12.5 KHz, of course.

Like Jann already had mentioned, in wide band it is just fine. There can not
be very much additional filtering, as I can pass P25 and D-Star through this
output.

This leads to a topic that I at least dropped here for two times, but with
no response.
I would like to route the flat audio from DC level up to some KHz through
the PC, to allow P25 and D-Star through it. No codec, no DSP processing
(maybe even regenerating the digital signals in a later version), no
filtering. No LP, no HP. Nothing. Is there a possibility to enable this?
Maybe even to route this over the internet, to allow linking of multi mode
repeaters?  It would be a great feature to have all the asterisk features,
all the tone decoding stuff, DSP squelch - but without touching the audio.

AFAIR the Motorolas are around 400 or 500 mV, but I am not sure.
