[Elecraft] DSP and CW?

[Bob Nielsen]

Chris,

I have found the KDSP2 to be excellent for reduction of atmospheric  
and many other noises, especially when operating CW, and I generally  
operate my K2 with the DSP NR turned on.  The KNB2 does a very good  
job on some types of impulse noise but is not effective on others.   
If you operate in a noisy environment, I recommend having both  
available.
