Please add my name to Bill's for not understanding when and why
to use "Cut".
Maybe we've been missing something by not using it.

Tom, I've had my Orion since August 21, and to be
perfectly candid,
I do not understand what CUT actually buys for you. I never use
it on
either CW or SSB, and this includes full SOSB10 efforts in both
modes
of the CQ WW. I mostly adjust only BW, PBT on SSB only (fixed at
+150)
which allows 1800 Hz filters to work properly, and NEVER touch
CUT.
Maybe someone can explain what the advantage of CUT is to me, but
TT
could just as well have omitted it for my use. It seems to me
that
with both BW and PBT, CUT is redundant. BTW, I've also never
found
similar controls on the TS-930S or FT-1000MP to be useful. Must
have
something to do with the way I operate.
Perhaps someone who really likes CUT can tell me what it
will do
that BW/PBT cannot do. Surely I'm missing something.
73, Bill W4ZV
