G'day, A contrary opinion, yes it is noticeable, particularly when trying to work signals near the noise. I usually have to crack where the callers are going through and then toggle the sub-RX off to make sure I have good copy on the target. In some circumstances I still find that using REV is the better option. Naturally if the target is head and shoulders above the noise, no problem, and the sub-RX sure makes working split a treat.
