[Elecraft] K3 NR (was making K3 RX audio like K2)

[Arie Kleingeld PA3A]

I agree on the observation of the NR.
Up till now I have not been able to find a setting that gives me a real
improvement. The NB is very good, but I find the NR disappointing. Any
advice from list members is appriciated, or is the solution in improving
the NR algorithms?

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has been disappointed in the "sound"
of the K3.  Coming from a Yaesu FT990 with a Heil Clear Speech speaker,
the sound was smoother and less fatiguing.  Moving the shift to a value
of FC= 1.2 or so might help.  I'm also hoping that more work will be
done on the Noise Reduction.  In each of the four groups of NR the 1 and
2 settings just seem to lower the signal and noise together while
settings 3 and 4 do a much better job of reducing noise but with an
adverse effect of a tunnel and echo sound.  Is it just my radio or do
others have the same problem?
