You increase the SNR, regardless of the bandwidth, by increasing the
signal level DICK.


Well, so much for your technical knowledge if THAT"S all you know about
it. Any experienced
ham, even without ANY tech schooling whatever, knows better than that.


As a dilletante, I realize that in any ratio, there are two numbers.

So while it is quite possible to make the s/n ratio larger by
increasing the signal, it is equally possible, and sometimes much better
to increase the s/n ratio by lowering the noise. Sometimes it is the
*only* option available.

Seems like narrowing the bandwidth might just do that!
