In a word. Yes. Fitting the ICOM-UT106 DSP is quick job, you just have to remove the case and plug it in. I was in a dilemma about whether to leave the leatherette case on it, but the bloke who sold it to me recommended that I keep it on to avoid shorting. In use its possible to configure the Noise Reduction (NR) Level, this can be set from 0-15. At the higher levels the sound signal sounds like its been broadcast underwater so I have it currently set on 5.
In practice its really good at getting rid of background hiss, white noise. Its not so good at the "buzzing" like interference that plagues some frequencies. So on balance worth the effort, and in combination with the synchronous AM mode of the R75 is helping me pull in some really faint stations.
