- It may be subjective, but I like the NR in 2.044A a lot better than the one in 2.039d. The sweep display seems faster too, which makes it more useful. Or, am I just imagining it? 73 Ray W2RS In a mes

- T-T had a display fast enough to be really useful as an operating aid. It was the waterfall display in 2.041XT. Yes, it looked kinda washed out on SSB, but I'm mainly a CW op and it was a real help.
