My ears really perked up at this one.  That might have been true years
ago, but not no more.  Modern TNCs and especially digital signal
processing together with narrow IF filters can pull good print out of
severe noise and QRM.  Give it a try with the latest stuff - you might
be pleasantly surprised!
