Exactly, "on a decent SSB QSO" - yes, the NR can be adjusted to work great, but
that's not when it's really needed. At least that is my take. Otherwise the
Eagle is a great radio. SSB audio is superb.

I can't imagine what's not to like....on a decent SSB QSO the NR and RF gain
can be adjusted to make it sound like it were on the local FM repeater. I've
had several comments from visitors about the effect. It adds very little of
the digital artifact heard on the Icom and Yaesu rigs I have owned. I'm not
aware of another manufacturers implementation that works better. I'd be
interested in hearing about those that do.
