[Elecraft] K3 NB/NR Noise Blanker/ Noise reduction

[Deni]

Yes you're right Steve!

After reading your comments below,  I have now set my AGC THR high and
SLP low, this REALLY does improve the NR function on both CW and SSB.
(previously I had my AGC settings more or less at default values)
Maybe others may wish to try this.

Thanks.
