In my estimation it's best to let the radio do the filtering whenever possible. It's not that app_rpt does anything bad, it does a perfectly find job. I just think the filtering and limiting in the radio will work and sound as intended by the manufacture. Of course there are always exceptions and extenuating circumstances... ymmv.
Here's my take. If you have radios [repeaters] (even ones of different manufacture) that exhibit a frequency response equal or greater than the bandwidth of the software, and let app_rpt do the signal processing, then everything will sound identical. Personally, I could care less how a manufacturer intends on how their repeaters should sound. I want everything to sound the same. Allowing the application to do that very thing makes a multiple repeater / multiple repeater manufacturer system sound alike when channel hopping. Disclaimer... I use a version of this application that has the availability of wider then stock audio bandwidth for the local path. Kevin
