[Elecraft] K2: DSP for CW ?

I'll let others chime in, but one feature the DSP provides is 
particularly useful when the bands are not terribly busy.  You can ten 
widen the IF pasband, activate the denoiser, and listen to the silence. 
  When a CW signal enters the passband (perhaps in response to your CQ), 
the denoiser will pass it through while still keeping band noise 
suppressed.  Thus, you can monitor without fatigue.
