ClearSpeech has given me an entirely new definition to DSP. I'm running a Kenwood TS-2000 and was really disappointed at the built in DSP. With ClearSpeech now I can actually hear the stations, both SSB and CW, that I am listening for. I live in town where there is a ton of man-made noise but with the ClearSpeech I can pull them out of the mud with ease. Static crashes and multiple carriers just disappear! There is nothing made that will clear up every situation but as far as I am concerned this is the best I have heard so far by a long shot.

CLRdsp also works very well with CW signals. For me it does what it claims - removes most of or all background noise, whether externally generated or generated within the receiver itself. It is not a substitute for IF filtering. Unique in that it removes heterodynes, including your own sidetone out of your speaker when holding the key down for aprox 1s. It does not affect CW notes, unless someone is running dahs that are 1 second in duration! I run the CLRdsp into a SCAF-1 for audio bandwidth filtering (prefer a 500Hz note) before it goes to a powered Fostex 6301B speaker. I much prefer an external audio DSP unit to an internal. Can switch from rig to rig and use only one volume control, the one on the powered external speaker. It lowers background noise much below what the 599zx does. Easy to use, reasonably priced, and does an excellent job in my shack.

I've had the speaker version for six months. Works very well at cleaning up general background noise that my TS2000 doesn't do. I'd say that it gets rid of 95% plus of background noise of any kind. I keep my unit in the low position and that does the trick. Makes SSB very enjoyable. The West Mountain boys should have added a switch to select between the unit's speaker or a remote speaker. That would have been better than plugging a remote speaker in and out. But then that would have made the "speakerless" version useless. Still a 5.

WELL I HAVE BEEN THINKING BEFORE I STARTED TO WRITE THIS AND I STILL GIVE IT A 5.
I JUST GOT MINE FROM A NEW BATCH THAT FILLED SOME BACKORDERS THIS WEEK, I WAS A LITTLE SCEPTIC AT FIRST BUT I WILL SAY IT WORKS GOOD.
HAVING A VERTICLE ON 40 MTRS IT IS OFTEN A NOISE LEVEL OF S/5 BUT WITH THE UNIT THE NOISE IS ABOUT 90% GONE SET IN THE MAX POSITION, NATURALLY THE RIG SHOWS STILL S/5 BUT MAKES IT MUCH MORE PLEASING TO MONITOR OR LISTEN ETC.
ON ALL OTHER BANDS (VERTICLE) I RUN IT IN THE MID SETTING AND ALL HISSS HASHHHH IS NULL.
THE PHONE JACK ON THE FRONT REALLY IS GOOD IN THAT POSITION. ALSO NICE TO JUST FLIP THE PWR SWITCH TO CUT THE AUDIO OFF WHEN YOU GET THAT PHONE CALL OR WIFE WANTS TO YACK AT YOU WITHOUT REACHING TO TURN THE RF DOWN, JUST A QUICK FLIP OF THE SWITCH.
THANK YOU WEST MOUNTAIN

I have the speaker version....I had SEVERE power line noise and it took care of it nicely. Then the power company fixed their line and currently selling it since I no longer have power line noise. I highly suggest that if you have the type of noise I had at my rural qth you consider buying one. I was quite impressed with mine. IT WORKED AS DESCRIBED FOR ME!!SOLID 5 RATING!!

I bought this West Mountain Clearspeech console to help reduce some noise from my 2006 International 9200I.It has a Cat C13 430hp.Injector pop off noise is about the most noise I have.You still hear it when the injector go off.It does ok on some other noises.Atmosphere,static.electrical storm;and other noise.But they claim it to take all noises out.I seem to use the unit on medium mostly.The volume gets a little boost also.I would buy it a-
gain.Steve kb0usy
