Don,

I have the dsp installed as well as the digital recorder module. The DSP does help. It is just as good as my Icom 718 on hf using the same antenna and great on the VHF/UHF BANDS. Universal still has the dsp module as does AES but they are getting harder to find

73,

You'll need to call and see what's involved in getting in shipped over to Norway.  I know Ham Radio Outlet,  www.hamradio.com<http://www.hamradio.com> , can ship to *some* countries, but you  need to call them before ordering as well.

Down on the HF bands it does okay, but you really can't expect top notch performance from a $500 box that covers from 100khz up through 2.6ghz.  I would like to get my hands on the DSP to if that improves the listening experience.
