I think this is a good response and I agree with the list of options but not
sure about the NB. Is anyone having good success with the NB in a fixed
location ?

I am on my second K2. First was in the 3800 SN range and this one is near
4400. I thought maybe something was wrong with the first one as it did not
even change the audio tone or anything. The second one is the same way. I
was assuming that maybe if I had sparkplug noise in a mobile environment, it
would help, but if I was going to build K2 #3 it would NOT have buy the NB.
I really miss the NB and NR on my Pegasus.

Anyone else have better results?

73,

Rich
