- Absolutely right, Bob. Throw in some loud linear noise, mic level too high, some RFI, too much compression, and you hear what I'm hearing in the contest this weekend! Ron N6AHA ______________________

- You are right about that Lin. From what I can hear using the NR (2.032) Downward Expansion is an effective feature that makes CW easier to copy if the threshold is set just below the desired signal.

- I haven't played with the NR much on SSB, but I do notice some bandwidth reduction, but the DE is still there. I does help on CW if you get the RF gain set right. Ron N6AHA __________________________
