I don't know what others have been experiencing using the new 4.51 firmware version, but I really think it is an improvement.
I have been listening to pileups tonight on 20 meters and cannot discern any mushy weak cw signals, signals are crisp and easily readable. Maybe I need bigger pileups to get a better handle on this aspect, or certain band conditions. I run the threshold at 14 and the AGC SLP is set to 000. The Noise Blanker is improved. I was able to get rid of s7 line noise, and no distortion in the audio of the received signal. NB settings are dsp T2-4, and the IF is NAR 4. So, the noise is being eliminatd with low setting of the NB. I suppose the real test will be when I hear s9 plus line noise which I frequently get here. AF Gain is set to LO in the config menu and have plenty of nice and crisp audio. I am listening to SSB on 80 meters now and have the RF gain set to about 9:00 and AF gain about 12 oclock. Just lots of gain and audio. I think 4.51 is ready to go BETA. What do others who are using 4.51 think?
