That's a point ... the TR-7 does not have a notch filter. I never missed not having one; however, using the R-7A in transceive with the TR-7 during the DX contest, I found myself often wanting to reach for the notch when I was listening on the TR-7 RX.
A notch can be useful on SSB, and not just for nulling carriers. But for me, it's not a deal-breaker for the TR-7. 73 -Jim On Tue, 9 Mar 2010 20:28:29 -0600, Richard Radke wrote: >I agree with Lee.
