I'd like to know whether it's ever been established that some very talented hams can out-hear the best SDRs and/or DSP available. Can a skilled ear-brain combo (such as some highly-skilled and talent
Mike, Are you referring to a specific modulation mode? How about adjacent channel interference issues? I like your question. Art On Tue, Aug 4, 2015 at 7:39 PM, Mike Waters <mikewate@gmail.com> wrote
Although I don't consider myself among the "highly-skilled and talented", I can't think of an instance where DSP made the difference between making a contact or not. I do have an Autek QF-1A wired in
CW skimmer is very impressive to see in action. But nowhere as good as an average CW contester at picking callsigns from the noise. Tim N3QE _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.
No, I'm not; but I was thinking of CW first and SSB second. How about adjacent channel interference issues? Let's assume for now that there is none. 73, Mike www.w0btu.com _________________ Topband
I suspect a well trained and practiced brain may be able to out perform a DSP assisted average brain... However over the course of a contest (24-48 hours of [near] continuous operating) a DSP assiste
Some years ago, a few of us would occasionally have QSOs that we called "Martin Luthers" -as in "I had a DREAM last night!" and we'd send off the QSLs and would often get one back! This was especiall
So, this isn't a scientific test, but a number of years ago (pre-K3) I built an Elecraft K2 (great fun to build) and then built the DSP board for it as well. As a relatively experienced ear, and alwa

And - do not underestimate the ability of your brain to act as a CW "filter". When I was doing EME on six meters (using CW) - I found using SSB bandwidths made it easier to copy the weak signal. You
N2GZ identifies fatigue is an important issue. A sort of acoustical psychosis sets in if you listen to a static crashy band with the same narrow filter for hours at a time. One advantage of having mu
