Do you need it? Only if you want to hear the weaker stations covered up by noise. I think Texas Instruments and Motorola worked on the technology together. Can't explain exactly how it works, but I think I can get close.
The demodulated signal is fed into the DSP circuits and the noise is discriminated from the audio and suppressed. DSP did not become very common until the patents expired from TI. They were trying license it in the same fashion as the old Dolby noise reduction was for the music and movie industry. CB radio manufacturers pockets weren't that deep and TI was too stingy to take less. Well that's what I was told way back when. I tried to verify and the engineers I dealt with could not be be found.
I mete KZ4RR there is 2013 for the 1st time & we live about 50 miles apart & had talked for many years. Traveled halfway across the country so we could finally meet. LOL W4KVW EM80wg
I will not be there but hopefully by the end of this month I will have my New tower and antennas back in the air including my M2 6M5X. The old tower and all of my antennas came down in October 2023 during a Hurricane.
