[ICOM] DSP

[Adam Farson]

Hi Randy,

No argument there! You and I have discussed this very topic on several
occasions.

Early last year, I gave a presentation on "DSP in HF Radios" at our local
club. It examines in some detail the points you raised.

Having owned and used Icom DSP-based radios since 2000, I would not accept
an analogue radio today (except for my portable IC-703+ kit.)

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

These past few postings about how the DSP in late model rigs really defeats
noise should be a great example that the DSP radios are much superior to
analog products. Ive heard many QSO's where an operator will say that these
newer DSP rigs are no better than there Icom , Yaesu , Kenwood ### because
DSP is just a newer way to achieve the same level of product in a less
exspensive way and other comments along this same line. But none of them
have a DSP based radio. I have never heard an owner of a DSP based radio
want to go back to an analog radio. Its sort of like that commercial about
DSL Broadband vs Dial Up ; I dont 
want to go back !   73 ,    Randy N5WV
