[Elecraft] K3: recommendations wanted for NR setting

[hank k8dd]

Pre Firmware 2.20 I uses AGC SLP 4 and AGC THR 8 to 
make the K3 sound like the K2 AGC.  At least on CW.
And used NR F2-4.  That worked great at Field Day.

Since Firmware 2.20 I cannot find a setting that accomplishes
two things ....
Sounds like a K2 and the audio level for NR on & off is about
the same
And with NR on (most any setting) now the received CW  sounds
soft, or very slow attack time.  At higher speeds it is possible to 
miss a leading dit in a character.  

But at this point AGC SLP and THR both equal to 2 works fine 
(to my ears) with loud and weak signals, but when I turn on NR
the received signal goes very soft.   If I set NR = F1-1 through
F1-3 it isn't too bad.
