You will be hard pressed to pull that off with anybody's DSP rig.....just as you won't find an MP3 player made that will sound like a direct to disk vinyl recording on a nice direct drive turntable with a decent moving magnet cartridge played through a restored tube amp.   That said neither the Drake nor the S line will do well on today's bands during a contest or in a huge split frequency DX pileup.

Want top notch weak signal receivers with the DSP tools necessary to help fight the tight bands with usable audio...pick up a rig with modern 32 bit DSP technology and use it sparingly.  ( I think the Jupiters is 16 bit so it will have limited dynamic range) Dialing in too much DSP processing will result in the artifacts you mention on anybody's implementation.
