I was only talking about SSB. For CW, the tightest filter you can use
without distortion helps the best for noise.

Noise Reduction "NR" : I mostly agree with Carl. My gear is Omni VI Opt-3
and opt-1 on a second unit. SSB is a significantly "modified" sound making
it more difficult to understand due to the lack of sibilance. However,
personally I like the "modified" sound when copying CW. I would describe it
as "enhanced". On CW, I use speeds up to 35 wpm or so with the "NR" always
"on". Regards, Bob K4BG

The NR you are talking about does not exist on any radio. Still to this
day I have never seen an NR that truely helps with copy. They might
make things quieter but copy is always best under difficult conditions
with NR off.

Hi all,
I agree. I'd go with an external panadapter. Why are people rumbling
about
an Orion III? Let's get the O-II finalized first. I am still waiting for
an upgrade that will improve the NR part of the rig. One that, when you
activate it, will truly reduce the noise WITHOUT altering the audio
quality
of the voice you're receiving.
On some signals it seems to work okay but mostly it distorts the audio
and
acts erratically and I am running ver. 2.044A. Different settings of the
AGC threshold and manual AGC level do not seem to make much difference.

Well said and totally agree Paul. Limited engineering resources can
be put to much better use. If the rig mfr provides I.F. output,
they've done their job.
