Correct Rick!
The topic is NB... NOT... NR.
Hard to believe or understand... yet my Century-22 actually handles noise
better than the Omni VII, and were going way back.
Could the variable 8-pole bandpass filter been designed so well that it
accounted for such noise as well? or possibly just my experiences.
The Eagle here also does a better job than the Omni VII.
Interesting the NB in My Kenwood TS-590 works unbelievably well, yet the
design on that one allows a variable user interface to set accordingly.
Also Good Info there N6KB

Correct, but the topic was NB, not NR.
The Eagle's NB is better than the OM7's.
The reverse is true for NR.

I like the NR in the Omni VII much better than the one in the Eagle. The
audio characteristics in the Eagle change dramatically in SSB and AM
modes.

|There is an on-going debate on a Brand X radio forum, whether one NB

|desired signal.
|
|My Take --
|
|Satisfaction with NR and NB is entirely dependent on one's

|intelligibility and audio quality. I am a fan of both internal and

|
|On the Brand X forum, some operators expect clean, pure, audiophile

|Unfortunately, there just ain't no free lunches these days.
|
|Wish List Item --
|
|I like the NR on my Omni VII, although I preferred how it worked in
|earlier firmware. (I am less enamored with the NR on my Orion II.)
|
|Too bad we cannot select feature updates from a smorgasbord of firmware

|
| We would be visiting John Henry in the looney bin sooner than later!)
| ;-)
|
|Just My take.
