I used an NIR-12 with my Omni VI Opt 3 for several years. I plugged it into the speaker out jack on the back, which is how it was intended to be used.

The NIR-12 was helpful on SSB, where it did a better job of eliminating QRN than did the TT inboard DSP using the NR button. But on CW, the NIR-12 introduced a time delay on the sidetone that made it difficult for me to send code. So I routinely used it on SSB but not CW.

I haven't reinstalled the NIR-12 since I moved to my current QTH. Probably I should do that, because it's a good unit. Thanks for the reminder!

Hi all,

Also I wonder about connecting an external audio DSP unit such as a JPS NIR-12. This unit has various front panel controllable functions, which presumably could make it work better than a DSP that only runs one fixed algorithm, as I suspect the Omni VI's does. Or maybe it would just be more knobs to twiddle with no real performance advantage. I suppose if I were to try out the NIR-12 with the Omni VI, I would want to get audio from the Omni VI BEFORE it has gone through the Omni VI's DSP, and not from either the Omni's speaker output or "FIXED AUDIO", which are both AFTER the Omni's DSP. I am interested in hearing from anyone who has already tried an outboard audio DSP unit with an Omni VI.

Thanks,
