[Icom] NB on PRO

Sat, 16 Mar 2002 16:23:04 -0500

Yap, same thing here with my 756Pro.  Starting at about an S9 signal and you
can start to hear the NB clip the audio.  The stronger the signal the worse
it gets.  On 80 meters the NB is useless because of the many strong close-in
signals.

What is interesting is that I just completed building the Elecraft K2 and an
option is a NB. It cost about $35 and had 2 IC's and 8 transistors.  On the
NB menu you have two NB settings, narrow and wide pulse and two threshold
levels.  The NB works great, why can't Icom do this?
