[Elecraft] Interaction Between KDSP2 and NB Level

I haven't seen anyone mention this on the reflector, so now I'm wondering if
I'm the only one to observe this "undocumented feature".

With the KDSP2 installed, I found that I can toggle the noise reduction on
and off by cycling through the Noise Blanker Level settings.  For example,
if the KDSP2 NR is on I can turn it off by cycling through the Hi Thres/Lo
Thres twice.  In other words, I can set the NB Hi or Lo threshold the first
time through without affecting the KDSP2 noise reduction, then if I cycle
through the Hi/Lo thresholds again, it will toggle the NR in the KDSP2 to
the opposite of the state it was in previously and it will change the NB
threshold.  Cycling through a third time will toggle the KDSP2 NR back again
while changing the NB threshold, and so forth.

Actually, it's rather handy, as I can turn the NR on and off with greater
ease than using the normal KDSP2 keyboard commands.  But I'm curious as to
whether others have seen this same behavior.
