Can you please clarify your statements about the KDSP and it causing 
distortion in the audio. Are you speaking from experience of using the KDSP 
in noise reduction mode or are you speculating about expected distortion 
based on other inexpensive DSP units?

I have used a JPS Communications NIR-10 DSP unit for several years. It was 
an expensive purchase at one of my trips to Dayton. On a band like 10m or 
15m where band noise is fairly low, the NIR-10 in noise reduction mode 
would almost make you think the band was dead as it would take out all the 
background noise. When you tuned in a signal, it would just pop right out 
at you. It was a pleasure to work stations with little to no background 
noise and there was no audio distortion. I would expect the KDSP2 would 
behave in a similar fashion.


Cheers!
