I regard the Yaesu FTdx5000 as the epitome of a quiet receiver and,
when coupled with its very successful NR implementation, creates an
uncanny silence between CW or SSB signals, even when there is
considerable atmospheric noise.
Come to find out over the weekend, I could tweak the settings of my
OMNI VI (Option 3) to obtain the same results: total quiet between
sigs.I never tried this out before, because I do like to hear
something between sigs just to know the radio is working and I'm still
alive.
Nevertheless, color me surprised that the c. 1990 OMNI holds its own
against the latest and greatest. I was leaning toward selling the 5000
anyway, but this "discovery" makes the decision easier.
