[TenTec] Hey, Binaural This

[Barry N1EU]

Holy Timewarp Batman!

The Timewave marketing hype says:  "Binaural cw enables the cw operator to 
use the powerful combination of his brain and both his ears to separate cw 
signals in a panorama with lower pitch signals to the left and higher pitch 
signals to the giht.  The exclusive feature makes cw listening easier and 
takes the pile out of pileups!"

My first response to this was that it sounded like a pile of something else. 
  Actually, there is some data to support this binaural technique.  For 
example, see http://www.nitehawk.com/rasmit/br_cpy.html and scroll down to 
"Binaural phenomena".

Anyone out there actually try the DSP599ZX with the latest firmware that 
supports binaural cw decoding?  Does it improve reading weak cw signals in 
noisy conditions?  We can shoot the bull all day, but does it or doesn't it 
work?
