[Elecraft] K3 Future Factory Hardware Updates; + New beta f/w release 3.27

[Don Wilhelm]

Bob,

Well said - This is the first time I have felt the NR works 
satisfactorily on SSB.  It actually makes SSB signals appear out of 
nothingness as one tunes the band.  In my tests, I felt that for SSB 
operation the F1-x and F2-x settings worked best and allowed a weak 
signal to be picked out of the noise.  For me, the F3-x and F4-x 
settings seemed not to help SSB stations that were down near the noise, 
but the lighter settings worked great on weak signals.

Yes, there is a bit of 'hollowness' to SSB voices, and the effect is 
magnified with AFX on, but that is not a problem in my opinion.

I am running with RX EQ flat.

73,
Don W3FPR
