[K3] [Elecraft] Initial Settings

[O. Johns]

Dave,

Ah, my god, are you lucky if you don't need NB.  I live in the center  
of San Francisco, CA, and every tom dick and harry and every  
restaurant pizza oven and every cell phone tower (one block away) and  
every neighbor's numerous wall warts are spewing out RFI.  S-meter  
readings mean nothing.  It is S units (if any) above the man-made  
noise that matter.  When I finish my current project, a balanced  
antenna tuner, then I will assemble my new K3 and we'll start on the  
NB and NR and AGC and AFX merry-go-round.  The K2 noise reduction is  
almost useless against all this stuff, so I hope the K3 does better.
