I dont like the user interface (dip swicthes) but the unit flat out works better than anything I have seen. Curious, since it was orginally engineered by a small company with nowhere near the engineering resources of ICOM etc. What ClearSpeech will not do is take out heterodynes, at least weak ones, and get rid of SSB interference that's offset in the direction of the sideband, a notable condition because a linear brickwall filter takes it away completely. In particular, it has no manual notch, and no brickwall filter. It's deficient in adjustable linear filters, in other words. What it does do is a good job of recognizing various forms of noise interference on speech, and taking out the noise, sometimes spectacularly, leaving the speech. Or, in my case, bird calls from the backyard bird microphone. So it's the noise reduction, or the non-linear filtering, that the ClearSpeech has the edge on, much better than any other I've seen so far. The Timewave 599zx takes out the noise but leaves the speech sounding muffled; the JSP NIR-12 has a couple of noise reduction methods, one of which sometimes works on ignition type noise better than the ClearSpeech but not often, but neither of which I'd normally go to first. The 599zx has the best adjustable linear filters, but alas only a single manual notch; and the widest bandwidth (5khz) of the bunch. -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. Hi Ron You see I need a notch filter on the HF-150 imo. I was thinking of picking up just the NIR-60 for now. It's just a notch filter. The 150 doesn't really need DSP, but it would make it even better. But, I could use a DSP unit with the rest of rigs except the Icom R-75 which already has superb DSP for the price. I don't get many hets in SSB, but in AM I do. I like AM 610 WIOD outta Miami but even attenuating it doesn't help much. The R-75 takes it right out either using ECSS or the ANF. So I guess I pass on the Clearspeech till I hear more reviews from end users. I was all about to order the Clearspeech too. Hey Ronnie, why don't you buy binoculars with a built in camera? I have one. So cool to catch these winged creatures close up. Look on Ebay. Lucky |
