So,
Maybe what we users are asking for is a menu-selectable NR algorithm, one
optimized for CW (similar to the present one) and the other for SSB. A
software issue, not necessarily requiring a new radio.

DITTO! Excellent on CW, SSB not a big improvement here on my 6 opt 3 too.

Noise Reduction "NR" : I mostly agree with Carl. My gear is Omni VI
Opt-3
and opt-1 on a second unit. SSB is a significantly "modified" sound
making
it more difficult to understand due to the lack of sibilance. However,
personally I like the "modified" sound when copying CW. I would describe
it
as "enhanced". On CW, I use speeds up to 35 wpm or so with the "NR"
always
"on". Regards, Bob K4BG
