except during por band conditions or when working DX that is, because i find
that the HC (high cut) setting with about 20 DB of processing gives a great

I have tried both conventional and high cut during pile ups, and the high
cut seems to punch through better everytime.
Of course, for rag chewing its utterly horrible
