[Elecraft] K#: 2.20 / 1.88

Yea ok then.. I found that mine usually resulted in a reduction of audio
but depending on the band and conditions sometimes it was the same and
sometimes it was more.  I think that this difference in amplitude
depending on the conditions and NR settings selected makes matching the
level pretty near impossible.  But thankfully there is an AF knob that
allows me to do so quickly and easily... :)

I'll have the K3 back tomorrow and I'll be upgrading to the latest
beta...  

Not sure what is going on this weekend but hopefully it'll be a good
chance for me to play...
