Are you stating that because George owns Inrad he is going to provide data 
like that? That is a very bad accusation especially when the data is from 
another magazine overseas.

Well do the figures have the optional roofing filters or not? I would like 
to know myself.

Why would one want to take a filter down to 50 or 100Hz for ssb anyway? Or 
for that matter cw? And from reading the archives on this reflector I also 
have to agree with the cw ops who do not use the dsp on the mark v for the 
reasons given. One cannot beat a good crystal filter. Myself and others on 
this reflector do NOT have a vested interest in Georges Inrad business! We 
operated with the various dsp rigs and listened and listened and heard and 
did not like the dsp on  the mark v. It really is meaningless.

Being a slave to that technology? LOL. What in the heck does that mean? LOL. 
Scott in all due respect, how long were you a tech plus before you got your 
Extra Class License in September 2005? I question if you have had the 
experience of listening to a vast majority of these dsp rigs or just merely 
reading the specs from a magazine.

Anyway I have spoken. See you on the next thread. I am outta here.
