In doing a side by side comparison with my K3 I notice the narrow filters on the 6700 (50 Hz) have a hollow ringy sound to them. At 200 Hz they sound pretty close. 73 Greg

    Turn the AGC-T down. I tried the 50 Hz filter with the AGC-T set for best SNR and the filters sounded perfect. Sounded like a code practice oscillator. If you have the AGC-T too high, you are filling the filter with noise.

    Doesn't that inhibit the ability to work weak signals? 73 Greg

    My experience has been this process reduces the noise to make the signal more copyable

    I think something has changed in the DSP. The NR seemed more effective in ver 0.16. Also the slider setting have no effect here. Greg

    Just the opposite. It will actually improve signal to noise. You want to set the AGC-T so that you hear the noise but the filter does not ring if you are doing weak signal work. A signal at MDS will be equal to the noise and you will be able to hear it much better than you would with the AGC-T set too high.
