[Elecraft] Question from a newbie

[Rich McCabe (IWH)]

I have had two K2's fully loaded. One with a 38xx serial and the other with
a 44xx serial.

Mine have never left the desk and I have yet to find any type of noise
artificial or other that the NB works on. It's fun to build but in my
opinion if you are looking for bang for the buck, that's not it.

73,

I have a K2 with DSP, and just last weekend added the KNB2 to the mix.

So far, for the noise I have here, the DSP denoiser works much better
than the KNB2. I've just been switching it in and out to see what
affect it has, and so far haven't found much noise that it removes.

I'm in a relatively quiet place though, so that might be it.

As Bob said, it's cheap, and it's a kit you can build and install in
about an hour or two, so why not!? :)
