Carl,
 
I'd agree with that, with the possible exception of 6 meters if including  
it would affect performance on the other bands.  John H?  What do you  think 
about that?

My Orion  III would be an Orion II with the addition of a sub-receiver 
that is equal  to the main receiver, a 9 mhz IF out jack, and receive 
antenna out/back in  loop connections so you could add devices such as a 
noise cancelor in  series with the receiver.  It would also have 6 meters.

This works on SSB as well as CW. I don't know what algorithm they're  using, 
but it really works.

this day I have never seen an NR that truely  helps with copy. They might make 
things quieter but copy is always best under  difficult conditions with NR 
off. Carl Moreschi N4PY 121 Little Bell Dr. Hays,  NC 28635 www.n4py.com On
