Hi Keith,

You're right, it _is_ trouble. You never want to cascade processors like
that - the different processing algorithms in the separate boxes will end up
"fighting" each other and your station will pump nonstop or flatten out or
produce some other undesirable result.

Furthermore, even if you put a Compellor or a Dominator in your audio chain,
you're still dealing with an 8100 that's at best 20 years old. Even
disregarding the fact that there's now much newer tech out there, your unit
has electronics that have been worn and softened by time.

My suggestion: for under $4,000 you can get an Omnia-3 that's all digital
and will punch up your station very nicely. Check out www.omniaaudio.com.

The optimod is in the chain as follows:

!MUSIC! -- BOARD -- OPTIMOD -- STL Beamed to the transmitter.
Where the other STL is located.

I was advised perhaps I could do some audio processing on the
otherside of the optimod so it would go MUSIC - BOARD -OPTIMOD -
PROCESSING - STL. But to me, this sounds like trouble. And i think I
would have to convert composite audio into analog audio, and then back
again -- pain in ass, I'm looking for some good deals now on an aphex
compellor, donations always are welcome! HAH!

Thanks alot,

Keith
