Quack Agrees with Bill on this one , calling off a bit makes it easier to
pick them out. I normally use 1000hz or if its really crowed and strong
I'll cut down to 600 but thats enuff , and you were issued ears to separate
the diff tones. When one is off to the side he is much easier to read thru
the mess.
When working DX and several are calling I'll sisten low 300hz to pick one
that is more in the clear.
