I would believe that. That explains why I prefer listening to very
weak stations with the filters opened to 700-800 Hz many times.
Of course it doesn't help much getting the freq super close when
spotting on packet <8^))

Subject: Topband: Signals in noise
There is an interesting article in Chinese Physics Letters Vol. 21,
No. 4,
p. 757 regarding enhancing detection of single tones by adding noise.
A
phenomenon with which I am sure almost all topbanders are familiar.
The
authors find that detectability can be enhanced by as much as almost 6
dB by
adding white noise. Using the denoiser on the DSP (or using the
narrowest
filter) is not always the best strategy!
You can download a copy of the article free for the next week or so at
www.iop.org click on "Journals" and register (which is fairly
easy).
