General Radio Discussion / Anyone out there with experience using a BHI Noise Cancelling speaker?

« on: June 25, 2017, 1304 UTC »

As it is unlikely I will upgrade from my old school analog NRD-515 anytime soon, I was looking into purchasing one of the BHI products, perhaps the BHI DSPKR. I am plagued with constant local QRN here. I looked at the reviews of both the Heil Clear Sound and the DSPKR and it would seem the better of the two is the BHI as far as noise cancelling to enhance speech. I would be grateful for any hands on insight into these DSP speakers before purchasing one. Your replies would be greatly appreciated!
