I had only a couple of minutes with the PRO at a SCCC club
meeting, but found that the narrower (<250) settings of the cw
DSP were very usable, with little or no ringing, and
the -60 dB points were MUCH narrower than the cascaded 500's
in my TS-850. I think it has potential. The best way to tell
is for a sharp operator to run the rig in a CONTEST, and give
us a report.
