Yesterday morning was my first real rigorous test for the NR and all its capability. If not for it, I would never had understood my call if they returned to me. Fortunately, since they were going thru the US by the numbers, I had time to fiddle with the various NR levels. Previous to today, the F5-1 was plenty adequate for most contacts. However, last night, before their signal started to improve, it was a savior. The F5-1 setting was only adequate but not the cure. As I explored the other options, I found how, with careful settings of the volume, BW Cuts and NR, you can make a signal intelligent when there seems to be no other way. I settled on using F7-2 (never been there before) as the best compromise and at least could tell there was a human being speaking and I actually understood him!
Like an earlier poster, Tim, said, it sure would be nice to have the NR, ".....adjust like this: 1-2, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 1-2, 2-2, 3-2, 4-2, etc.” I second that motion after last night. It seems like I usually use the first or second levels. All in all, I am pleased, especially since I am in the log now for 9N7MD on CW and SSB! I am happy!
