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).
