I've  found
that if I can't copy the signal without NR, I can't copy it with NR  --



Just last night I was working a guy who I could not copy with the NR  off.  I 
tried adjusting the RF gain (which doesn't do anything in 1.371),  adjusting 
the AGC, adjusting the bandwidth - nothing would bring him out of the  mud.  
Hit the NR (setting 3) and in about 2 seconds he was Q5.
 
And which would you rather listen to?  A radio that has a quiet  background 
or one that is hissing at you when there are no signals or between  signals?
