Allen, the Triton and Omni ABCD are exceptionally quiet because they
are single conversion receivers.  The Corsair introduced double
conversion with PBT and part of the trade off was a slightly noisier
receiver I'm afraid.

And, it's NB is far more effective than any of my so-called hi-tech rigs. I'm hoping the Corsair receiver is as quiet as the TRITON's, and that the NB works as well too. The NB on my TRITON drops an S9 powerline noise down to S3 without attenuating or distorting desired intelligible signals. It's one handicap is limited selectivity in heavy QRM conditions, but I'm past my era of "competitive" hamming and getting tangled up in toe-to-toe pursuit of rare DX.

The owner tells me that the NB doesn't appear to function, but I haven't yet received the Corsair, so haven't yet been able to check the NB effectiveness myself. Could this be an early production unit that didn't yet have a proper nb?
