Hi Lonnie and Rolf: I'm not sure the question was really answered. I trust you both realize that the DSP as a whole, as well as individual features such as filters, noise reduction, and auto notch filter can be switched on and off from the front panel. So the answer to your question, Rolf is:

Hello Jim, I've owned my 746PRO for about 3 years, and my K2/100 S/N 3039 w/ all options for a little over 2 years, so I feel qualified to render an opinion here. I'll start by saying that although the 746PRO is a nice rig, it's no match for the K2 for CW, which is my primary mode of

I have had my K2/100 with KDSP2 for 4 months now and almost never use the DSP. The stock filters in the K2 seem to work just as good, and often better, than the DSP filters but that is very much a matter of taste I think. I operate only cw and my comments apply only to cw mode. I like the

I have to disagree with the other guys .. I like the DSP in some circumstances, it seems to be able to dig weak CW out of the noise on occasions where I can't hear it at all with the normal filter (and just barely with no filter). Where it really shines in on the digital modes .. I user the RTTY

The following is only my opinion... I had the KAF2 and then built the KDSP2. The denoiser is ok, but I found that the DSP filters made the rig hard to listen to. This is more pronounced on SSB. The auto-notch was helpful, but it didn't make up for the irritating quality of the DSP filters. I

I didn't think it was worth the trouble. I like having the KAF2 filters and they're tight enough so that I can get around most hetrodynes. If conditions were marginal, the de-noiser often made things worse, not better. If you think about it: Sometimes you can copy weak signals best with the
