reception power?

Apparently the terrestrial noise that is generated is much lower than my receiver sensitivity so mentioning terrestrial noise is completely pointless because I don't even hear it.

It isn't that important to hit -125, is it?

With the amount of just terrestrial noise being created, it is a number that is worthless.

With my squelch all the way down and my RF gain all the way to the right all I hear is complete silence unless someone is transmitting.

Unless of course I happen to be driving under neath Some high power transmission lines in which case I do hear static occasionally

The noise generated within the radio itself during the manufacturing process can be removed or minimized by a competent reengineering of the circuits involved. And during the 10 years of driving from California to Pennsylvania not a single person was capable of hearing as far as I was able to hear. The question I was asked most often was am I sitting on top of a mountain on a base station or where was I located because I can't hear the person you're talking to. I often got accused of talking to myself because nobody in my vicinity was capable of hearing the person I was talking to 40 or 50 miles up the road. I could also hear people in the vicinity of the person I was talking to asking him who he was speaking to because they were unable to hear me. This happened every day for 10 years. The only time somebody near me was able to hear the person that was talking to me was if that person had his radio tuned by the same person that Tuned mine.
The whole point of this is that unless your technician is capable of tuning receiver in the same way that mine is tuned you will be unable to hear as far as I do. the only thing holding people back from awesome receive is listening to ham radio operators
Who have never experienced receive like this telling 11 meter operators that it's completely unnecessary. But if you and I are driving down the interstate and I happen to be having a friendly conversation with someone far up the road and you are unable to hear that person you will be wishing that your receive is as good as mine.

Just to clarify, I was responding to Ridgeline's "-125 is pointless" comment. One of these days I'm going to get around to getting my radio to Mark.
