Hi Guys --

I often use NR to advantage on SSB, and it can make a substantial 
difference in reading SOME weak, noisy signals.  HOWEVER...  one's 
satisfaction will depend entirely on his level of expectation.   It 
works well, as long as you do not ask too much of it.  NR CAN help in 
SOME cases, but is no panacea and cannot remove all noise, and it DOES 
ALTER the signal.   Noise is received right along with the desired 
signal, and it affects the signal as it removes "some" of the noise. 
Sometimes it helps, and sometimes not.

Thus NR becomes, in my view, AT BEST,  just one more tool in the tool 
box.   Sometimes it is the right tool for the job, and other times, it 
is not.

Just MY take.

------------------
Happy Trails.
