I might as well weigh in, too :-) Disclaimer: I have a pecuniary interest in the KDSP2!
One nice feature of the KDSP2 is if you set the bandwidth of the K2 to wide, and tune to an area of a band that is normally active when there is activity at all. The NR function then acts like a smart squelch. If the band is dead, you hear nominal silence. If a signal comes up anywhere in the passband, the NR will build a filter around it and you'll hear it. In these days of low sunspot activity, this can be a great way to monitor for a band opening without staring at a computer screen, or listening to fatiguing band noise. 73, Lyle KK7P ______________________________________________________________ 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
