[Elecraft] KDSP is done: Request for WAVE file

I listened to the KDSP2 on display at the Dayton Hamvention.  When I first 
approached the K2, the quiet was the first thing I noticed.  I had to look 
twice to make sure the volume control was up, the display on, and a new 
squelch control hadn't been added, etc.  as it sounded all the world like 
a dead receiver.  On 80M, no hiss, snap, crackle, or pops were evident. 
The environment was the "high electrical noise" of the arena.  Disabling 
the noise reduction and the real world appeared with a vengeance:  all the 
hiss, crackle, and pops you wanted! 

Unfortunately, the environment was not conducive to receiving real 
signals:  CW or SSB.  I believe their booth only permitted a minimal 
antenna inside the steel building.  So, I too am interested in reviewing 
some wave files with the DSP off and on to see the difference!

But, I can say for sure, the noise reduction *really works*.  How it 
affects a received signal remains to be seen (er... heard).
