[Elecraft] K3 NR triggering

Truer words were never spoken!

I'm a full time CW operator (well, 99.9% CW, 0.1% digital modes.)  I  
played with the pre-3.25 NR quite a bit and I was never able to find a  
setting that made a CW signal easier to copy, so I never actually used  
it in a QSO.  Post-3.25, I find I'm now using it more often than not.  
My preference would be for progress to continue in the 3.25/3.27  
direction.  Of course, ideally they'll come up with a way to let each  
operator use what works best for them.
