But the solution to that 'problem' is a very non-technical one-- get people that can manage to keep at least one eye on a meter to run the equiptment.

What amazes me is remotes that are using Comrex and Tielines POTS units with good quality connections and the marvels of digital transmission the audio sounds terrible.  I helped a friend check out one of these systems and we found that "Digital Overload" was most of the problem.  His  Remote techie and station Groupie  were not wantching any levels they just set up the remote, which also sounded distorted over the local PA system.   Basically,  overload the audio at the first microphone pre-amp with levels too high,  means that the audio quality cannot get any better on down the transmission path.
