Chris,
I have found the KDSP2 to be excellent for reduction of atmospheric
and many other noises, especially when operating CW, and I generally
operate my K2 with the DSP NR turned on. The KNB2 does a very good
job on some types of impulse noise but is not effective on others.
If you operate in a noisy environment, I recommend having both
available.

Does this combination make sense? I operate 100% CW. These days, I

to be chasing a lot of very weak signals with questionable
readability.
My vertical isn't the quietest of antennas (they never are) and my
neighborhood has a fair amount of QRM on 40m during "real people
hours".
For example, this morning I was trying to get KH2/JR4GPA. Copying his
sign was very tough, but I finally got it and confirmed it. I called
a couple of times but realized that I wouldn't recognize my call even
if he returned it! Just on the egde of ESP.
So ... would AF or DSP help me in this situation? The noise blanker
doesn't seem to do much good for the noise sources my neighbors
provide.
Thanks!
