Hi all,

I tend to use NB IF WID 1/2/3 most often to get rid off rattle/pulse noises, quite comparable to the Drake NB.

Yesterday night we had quite a lot of thunderstorm static over Western Europe so I played a bit more with the different NB settings.

I found that NB DSP settings t1-7 and t2-7 are quite effective with thunderstorm static crashes.
Without the DSP-NB static has quite strong peaks making copying difficult.

With the NB DSP settings t1-7/t2-7 static crashes get a more soft "brushing" character which is very good to make listening "into the noise" more easy.

Good job!
