Joe said The only problem is that my poor antennas don't given me enough strong signals to really evaluate strong signal pile-up with off air signals at the higher thresholds. Turning on the pre-amp will increase the noise level, increase the signal strength of those signals already there and

I did not mean to imply that the NB had changed from 4.50 to 4.51. My comment was from 4.48 to 4.5X. I can see how you read it differently though. I have not noticed a change in the NB from .50 to .51 Mike W0MU W0MU-1 CC Cluster w0mu.net On 5/12/2012 6:30 AM, Toby Pennington wrote: Mike,

I'm not a fan of NR, however since it's back in 4.51, I decided to try it again. I thought some of the NR settings appeared to be excessive, to the point of eliminating the signal I'm trying to listen to. But then I remembered that finding the best NR setting takes time (it's not instant).

Sebastian, The AGC threshold is something the typical operator will rarely change. We didn't make any effort to eliminate switching artifacts as you change the menu parameter, though we could if it turns out to be an issue. 73, Wayne N6KR On May 12, 2012, at 11:30 AM, Sebastian, W4AS

I fail to see any advantage to turning on the preamp when it is not needed. If you can hear the atmospheric noise without the preamp, leave it off (if the noise level increases when the antenna is attached, you have enough gain). By extension, if you can still hear the atmospheric noise with
