Whoops - I forgot the original post mention the noise problem. It
worked for me because it was a quiet, rural location - no line noise,
etc. BTW, I've had good luck with the MFJ 784B DSP filter when I do
have noise - someone mentioned the Timewave AN-4 (?) - it's more
expensive but if it takes the manual intervention out of the process,
I'd recommend going that way.
