Welcome to the KB2UKA ESSB Forum—glad you’re here.
This forum was created to give ESSB operators a dedicated, signal-to-noise-ratio–friendly space to talk about what actually matters: high-fidelity amateur radio audio. No scattered comments, no disappearing posts, no algorithm-driven nonsense—just solid discussion and shared knowledge.
What this forum is for
This is the place to:
Discuss ESSB audio chains (hardware, software, or hybrid)
Talk processing philosophy, not just presets
Compare gear, mics, interfaces, processors, and radios
Share on-air recordings and give or receive constructive feedback
Ask questions and help others level up their audio
Preserve information so it doesn’t get lost
Whether you’re running a full broadcast-style rack or you’re just starting to explore ESSB beyond stock audio, you belong here.
Forum culture (important)
To keep this community strong:
Be respectful and constructive
Critique audio and ideas, not people
No gatekeeping—everyone starts somewhere
Keep discussions technical, helpful, and on-topic
Disagreements are fine; ego wars are not
This is about raising the bar together, not proving who’s right.
Get started
If you’re new, we encourage you to:
Introduce yourself and your station
Share what you’re running (or what you’re trying to build)
Jump into discussions where you can learn or contribute
Lurking is fine—but participation is what makes this place valuable.
Thanks for being part of the community. I’m looking forward to the discussions, the recordings, and the knowledge we build here together.
