What is the optimum level (preferably an s-meter reference because i'm
stupid and i don't know what else to use) of RF into an Omni-D for best
signal to noise ratio. When i cut this preamp in on an S-0 noise level,
i can usually bring the noise up to S5 or S7 with the gain wound all the
way up. If there's a signal in the noise that i can hear but can't
copy, how much do i bring it up to put the reciever in the middle of
it's best dynamic range or sig/noise ratio (all SSB voice). Once i do
that i can start filtering, using the radio's built in filters and an
external timewave audio DSP box.. sometimes it works for filtering noise
sometimes it doesn't.
Is there a magic number for this radio or is it 'whatever works best'
which is the answer i expect to get
