[TenTec] Corsair II noise blanker

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

Correct, but the topic was NB, not NR.
The Eagle's NB is better than the OM7's.

The reverse is true for NR.

I like the NR in the Omni VII much better than the one in the Eagle.  The
audio characteristics in the Eagle change dramatically in SSB and AM modes.

|
|My Take --
|
|Satisfaction with NR and NB is entirely dependent on one's

|

|Unfortunately, there just ain't no free lunches these days.
|
|Wish List Item --
|
|I like the NR on my Omni VII, although I preferred how it worked in 
|earlier firmware.  (I am less enamored with the NR on my Orion II.)
|
|Too bad we cannot select feature updates from a smorgasbord of firmware

|can, however, just imagine the programming nightmare THAT might entail!
|
| We would be visiting John Henry in the looney bin sooner than later!) 
|     ;-)
|
|Just My take.
