Because it would remove the signal. One of the main functions is, I believe, to act as an adaptive notch filter, which would mean that, most likely, it would notch out the spacing tone on RTTY. Also the most optimal digital modes tend to be almost indistinguishable from random noise to anything other than the matched demodulator. Basically, NR reduces subjective noise for speech, but will play havoc with digital modulation. -- David Woolley "The Elecraft list is a forum for the discussion of topics related to Elecraft products and more general topics related ham radio" List Guidelines <http://www.elecraft.com/elecraft_list_guidelines.htm> ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
