[Elecraft] K3 NR triggering

[Steve Ellington]

I just had a CW QSO on a noisy 80m. Here's what I noticed with NR set for 
F1-3. BW set for 2.5 kHz.
QRN very loud! I pushed NR. Band goes almost totally silent. Calling CQ with 
the bug was like being in TX mode but I was using QSK as always. Wow...Nice 
and quiet. Then someone answered my CQ. On his very first DIT, the noise 
level jumped up and stayed up throughout the entire QSO. It was quieter than 
no NR at all but why should it stay that way???
I've been playing with it and sure enough, I can turn NR off then back on 
and the noise vanishes. Tune across a CW signal and it triggers the noise to 
return.
