[Elecraft] Re: K3 noise reduction vs. Clear Speech speaker

[Brett Howard]

I think I've noticed that... Its like the filter opens up a bit and
the static comes up but then when the tone is present the filter locks
in on it after a bit and the static comes down.  I have a feeling that
this phenomenon probably helps it to not obliterate weak signal CW
sigs but it can be a tad bit annoying with some of the mediocre to
loud sigs.

I agree that its a work in progress and if there was ever a guy who
will figure out a really slick way to do it its Lyle.  Lyle seems to
be growing and learning what works better along with the k3.  It takes
time to get things just right.  This coupled with the fact that there
is NO way to make everyone happy it can get even tougher.  But knowing
Lyle he'll strike a good balance and things will improve over time.

I'm interested to see/hear what they've been cooking up as of late...
