Can you offer a little more information about the NR?  In this 
version of NR, the set levels are in four groups of four, whereas 
previous versions have been 0 to 39 or 0 to 3.  Additionally, I 
noticed that the NR does not appear to work below BW of 500Hz.  Is 
that true or am I just not noticing the effect?

Hm, I forgot to download that, but it appeared that the previous 
loader worked fine.  When you have the loader check for new firmware, 
I guess it doesn't check for new versions of itself.
