Tony,

Did you mean "NR" when you stated "NB"?  I find no audio reduction when 
turning on the NB unless I have the IF NB cranked up to maximum.

I first thought the new NR was reducing the audio, but I found it was 
not so when one is tuned to a signal. The noise reduction is so 
effective that in my case it almost behaves like a squelch because there 
is not band noise at all (my noise level is not usually very high 
anyway) - so there is a natural tendency to turn up the audio gain 
because there is no noise to hear - but when a signal is present, the 
audio is then LOUD.
As I have stated in prior posts, I *do* find a bit of AF reduction on 
SSB if I have the NR set to F3-x or F4-x, but I find NR on SSB quite 
effective at the F1-x or F2-x settings.

73,
