[TenTec] Quietness/Apparent Sensitivity

[DennisKT5D@aol.com (DennisKT5D@aol.com)]

  I live in a suburban area surrounded by neighbors, not unlike probably most 
hams. At my QTH I deal with numerous unintentional emitters of rf that 
basically establishes a noise floor level for me. I obviously have very 
little control over this. I must seriously question the value add of a rig 
that can "hear" -140 dBm (or less) if I have a noise floor hovering around 
the -110 dBm level. For me, noise reduction DSP breakthroughs are as 
important as quieter receivers.
