DSP magic was not hidden in ver 1.371. It got buried in every version after
that.
In 1.371 it made the receiver get very quiet - no hiss, no ocean noise. I
describe it as "squelch like." When a signal came on, the receiver would jump
to life. I only remember hearing the signal, not a lot of noise. It made
listening very comfortable not having to hear all the static and background
hash.
The signal would distort only if you turned the NR up too high. I remember
3 being a good setting. The setting did not increase the amount of NR, it
made the NR faster adapting.
Whatever happened after 1.371 destroyed NR - it is unusable or makes no
difference at all in the present 2.xxx software. The NR button on the rig
might
as well not even be there.
DISCLAIMER - I love my Orion. I want to kiss it every night before I go to
bed. It is the best radio I ever owned. All the folks at TenTec and
DitsnBits are wonderful. My only reason for making this post is my sincere
desire to
see the radio live up to its full potential and to assist in the process of
having that come to pass.
