I've used a few NR systems (not a lot, so this is just anecdotal) including the system that Bob Heil was marketing for a while (ClearSpeech speaker). The latter probably worked better than anything else I've tried, but I can say categorically that I have never seen any NR system that actually makes an SSB signal easier to copy. In other words, if you can't copy it through the noise, you're not going to be able to copy it any better with NR applied to it. My current radio (soon to be replaced by the K3) is a Kenwood TS-2000, and the NR on it is absolutely useless on SSB. In fact, it's pretty useless on CW, too, IMHO. I never use it. NR is very far from being a mature technology! I think we'll see DSP technology take huge leaps forward over the next few years, and since the DSP in the K3 is wide open to change, I'm looking forward to continuing improvement. That said, I haven't yet experienced the K3 NR. I should have that opportunity within the next couple of days. :-) Bill W5WVO _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
