[Elecraft] k3 NR Audio level increase

[The Smiths]

I don't normally make comments on these subjects.. But I have to say, the one reason that I bought my K3, was because when I turn on the NR with a weak signal, and a S5 to S7 noise level (which is what I normally have at my QTH) the CW underneath the noise pops up, gets louder, and I can actually work it!  Why would I want this feature changed?  Isn't the idea to increase (or "enhance" as Lyle says) the signal your trying to listen to, while at the same time suppressing the noise below it.  I would much rather have to turn down the volume control, then have to wish I was able to turn it up.  
It seems to me that most of the people with the Audio that cleans out their ears is due to the fact they have uncontrolled AGC levels due to very high Thresholds and very low slopes.  I belive if you turn your threshold on a little sooner, this could be avoided.  At least from what I've found. 
As for the meter not reflecting the change in audio level when you turn on the NR.  This is a Positive, not a negative.  How can you give a proper RST report if you can't even see the pre-effected signal strength?  This is exactly the problem that the people using the FT-2000 are having.  They have now had to tune their sub receiver to the same freq. as the main, Just to read that non DSP affected S meter.
Granted, every user is different, but in my opinion, the NR works just as it should.  Let let that be noted Wayne.
