v4.0 NB not working on 6600

I have both the 6600 and the 8600 radios.

The NB does not work on the 6600 radio using the new V4 update on the 6600.

On the 8600 radio, the NB functions as it always had on prior versions.

Some background. On 160m on my Europe Beverage RX antenna there is a horse fence that is a constant "ticker". This has always been completely eliminated with the NB on the 6600 when using the old V3. In fact I marveled at how well it worked. Now NOTHING CHANGES at all when the NB is engaged or not on the 6600. The WNB on the ANT selector also does nothing. Works perfect on the 8600.

Has anyone else noticed this?

    Interesting because it doesn't work for me on the 8400. I think type of noise is at play here.

    This is a V.4.0 problem because this electric fence pulse was completely removed with the V3 NB.

    Now ONLY on the 6600 radio the NB does nothing at all if turned on or off. nothing changes. Works perfect with V4.0 on the 8600.

    Service ticket submitted.

    Steve, I have the same issue here with the 6500. Clicking the NB button no longer has any effect. Also I can't find the sliders for adjusting "depth" of the NB or NR features.

    Steve, have you compared the noise floor on the 6600 vs the 8600? Considering upgrading here. Thanks!
