The K3 can feel a little "over charged" with full RF Gain and preamp  
inline... like driving a race car in rush hour traffic. As an  
experiment I used NR throughout the CQ WW CW contest and it worked  
great, especially when bands where a little quiet it made static and  
hiss a little less fatiguing. Anyone else tried this?
