I have a constant S5 to S7 noise floor here at my QTH.. It's both QRN and QRM. This is especially true when the conditions change so that the DX is present. I find that when I use NR 3-5 with Med5 I reduce the QRN by at least 2 S units. I've never had an NR that actually reduced random band noise, other than perhaps electrical impulse generators. Granted, I've come from the Yaesu world.
Michael N6MQL --------------------- Merv, Interesting, I have used the shift and on my unit the FC* is at 150. I find moving it down to 90 helps (toning down the higher pitches noise) as well as playing with the bandwidth (trial and re-trial). Noise seems to be about S3 in my area with no improvement or reduction in noise using DSP (both IF's) or using Noise Reduction at any of the settings. NR seems to be pretty ineffective unless it's just operator error but, I think I have a fair understanding of going through the settings while listening to the atmospheric noise..
