[Elecraft] K3: honest question re Audio Peak Filter

[Gary, W7TEA]

The K3 is the first rig I've used in years that I've not run the audio thru
an external audio filter.  I have owned and used several, often to
eliminated hiss and to peak the signal.  On the K3 I've often found the AFX
feature helps me to copy signals that are challenging otherwise.  This
morning I was listening on a noisy band to a weak signal with NR engaged and
set to 3-2.  I turned it off and the signal disappeared in the mud.  In
fact, if I'd been tuning the band without NR, I would have missed it
altogether.  I repeated it several times.  This was a first for me.

An APF is a tool that I would like to see on the K3. I liked it on my
FT1000D. 

Different people find different tools useful. Here's three K3 tools that I
have not found useful. The noise blanker, the notch filter, and the AFX
feature. But they are tools that might come in handy some day and I'm glad I
have them. I'd like to have the APF as well.
