With Beta FW 3.25, the NR function reduces the audio level in my cans 
quite a bit.  I haven't tried it on CW, but I will today during ECN.  I 
was on SSB yesterday in the NAQP which is where I noticed it.  If I 
turned it on for a weak signal, the signal sort of disappeared, even if 
I ran the AF Gain up.  Am I doing something wrong?

Now, the NB rocks!  Our power lines always get dust coated this time of 
year, and on 20, the QRN [typical buzz from a 60 Hz leakage path] is 
well over S9 with the preamp off.  There are NB settings that reduce it 
to S1, and I can't hear it any more.  Nice job!
