Check MFJ for the possible answer to your problem, MFJ-616, Speech
Intelligibility Enhancer. Martin F. Jue, MFJ's founder claimes it gave ham
radio back to him.  http://www.mfjenterprises.co   The disclamer applies I
have nothing to do w/mfj, other than I live in same state. I hope this or
something else will help you, I can't think of not haveing this hobby.
GOOD LUCK

  > A few years ago I got into 20M qrp'ing and found the radio [mfj model]
had a built in crystal which seemed to get rid of or lesson the background
noise.

remember that the higher the freq the less the noise was. e.g. On 10M it was
around 1-3 S units and on 160M it was around 5-9 S units.

put me in the poor house or were I don't have to refinance my shorts [if you
know what I mean]. I ask this because when I got into ham, I made the
foolish mistake of buying what ever looked good and never even researched
the products. So you see I don't want to make the same mistake twice.
