well, I have to 'chime in..' after hesitating... to me, 'it depends..'   on what noise you're trying to get rid ofI spend most of my time on 160m cw, but in the suburbs with all sorts of 'mystery signals'...using small receiving antennas, which require external pre-amps...it's a curious mix

John, I suggest reading the following links to understand how DDUtil works and how to connect hardware and other software programs to follow PSDR. http://k5fr.com/ddutilwiki/index.php?title=Design_Concept http://k5fr.com/ddutilwiki/index.php?title=Setup http://k5fr.com/ddutilwiki/index.php?title=

This thread has had many good points. I have been underwhelmed with most Noise Blankers, DSP's, Noise Reducers, ANF's, etc. They work a little, but most seem to create as many problems as they solve. This is my experience with Flex as well as some recent Yaesu, Kenwood, Icom, etc. rigs. Maybe ou

Part of the problem may be a matter of PC processing power forreal-time noise removal. I use audio editing software on my PC that does an outstanding job of removing complex noise from audio recordings. However, it takes over 10 seconds to clean-up 1 second from a recording, even on a high-end

I think a part of the problem with NR and NB is expectations, situations and implementation limitations, both on the part of users and implementors. I have not seen a NR function on any radio that seemed to live up to my wildest dream expectations. I agree that the current PSDR NR doesn't se
