    It sounds you are talking about general band noise. The Flex has the AGC-T slider that removes the noise you are talking about, this Makes the Flex a very quiet receiver. As far as spacific types of noise, The WNB is great, but for the other filters, yes they do need more work.

    Lawrence, keep in mind that what PSDR has in it has nothing to do with what SSDR may or may not have. The two software has nothing in common, SSDR was built from a clean sheet nothing was carried over from PSDR.
    So to make new features in SSDR was and still is a learning curve, new ground.
    And It took 5 years before PSDR got any noise filtering that worked at all.

    One thing SSDR has is WNB,,now that's slick.

    It was Gerald who invented the antenna diversity steering in PSDR

    I guess I don’t agree. If a company is able to write the code for effective noise reduction in one product version, it is reasonable to expect similar or better noise reduction in a product that replaces the previous product. In my condiderable product development experience, it is relatively unusual for a new product generation not to equal or exceed the performance of the product generation being replaced. I do not wish to belabor discussion of this issue, as it has been discussed at length for several years. There are numerous conventional radios that have more effective noise reduction. Flex has focused development and updates in other areas. I am sure they will eventually benchmark the 6000 series noise reduction and prioritize updates in this area. In the meantime, I will enjoy the generally superb performance of my 6500.
