I would disagree on both the Scope and the NR. I have had a Flex for many years. The NR has made a difference and is certainly better than the NR on any other radio that I have used. The NR is not plug and play, nor it is it locked down that those hard coded units I have with very little adjustment. NR is a very complicated algorithm and most noises are not the same. However, the use of the NR and a frequency designed receiving antenna have made the largest difference in my ability to hear things.
As for the Scope, I wouldn't live without it. The Histogram is very useful when watching other stations on their audio distribution and is certainly better then anything else. In my 6M work, it is invaluable for spotting signals, although the spurs do drive me crazy at times. As for AM, I never use it as I personally find it a waste of bandwidth, but that is just me. I personally feel that our goal is to get the information of a QSO across the ether and you don't need 5Khz to do that. I'm not trying to upset the AM guys, just my view of AM, while very historic, is just not efficient. It is good that we have so many options even including DV. For those of you who don't like the NR or don't like the Scope, then why are you still using the radio and have not moved on to something else?
