signals.

        A few questions Merle:

1.  If the starting point is using the DSP's
100 Hz bandwidth, will enabling NR improve S/N?
I don't see that with 1.373b5 and Spectran.

2.  If enabling NR makes no improvement in S/N,
why bother since NR takes more time to respond
than directly setting DSP BW to 100 Hz?

        Still looking for that "DSP Magic".  So
far only Icom's advertising agency seems to
know where it is hidden.
