[Elecraft] K3 V2.20/1..88

[Stan Rife]

    Yes I did. I wound up with SLP set to 8 and Threshold at 5. I just 
changed the threshold setting to 6 and I think it made some difference. 
The audio with NR on is considerably louder than with previous versions 
of the firmware. I can really tell a difference on CW. So I think I'm ok.

    I had an adjacent signal just below where I was listening and with 
the threshold set to 5 it may have been causing a little more pumping 
that was causing the AGC to reduce the audio a little. Actually I'm not 
sure if the lower setting of the threshold creates a stronger AGC action 
or not. Listening to some different signals around the band revealed 
that I do have a little more audio with the NR on than I did with past 
versions of the firmware.
