After playing with 2.054 I just went back and reloaded 1.371 available on

Wow - Submitted for your consideration:
The NR works like it should. Turn it on and things get quiet instead of
crackly
The Auto notch works - no more loud crackling noises when you turn it on.
The SP works like it is supposed to - no more distortion
The RF gain has only a marginal effect on the incoming signal and no effect
on the S meter. The official line was this was the way it was supposed to
be. Remember the firestorm over how we were supposed to use the AGC to
substitute for the RF gain?
The sweep seems to be working just as well as it does under 2.054 (I did the
hardware mod).
I think I like it. Maybe I will change my mind but I have come to believe
my intial reaction was wrong and 2.054 is not an improvement.
