Audio Chain

Clean audio is a priority at W7GES. The transmit chain is optimized for clarity and consistency, while the receive chain is filtered for low noise and high intelligibility.

Cable Management

All RF, control, and power cables are routed cleanly with ferrite suppression, labeled endpoints, and proper separation between RF and low‑voltage paths.
