I might as well weigh in, too :-)

Disclaimer: I have a pecuniary interest in the KDSP2!

One nice feature of the KDSP2 is if you set the bandwidth of the K2 to 
wide, and tune to an area of a band that is normally active when there 
is activity at all.

The NR function then acts like a smart squelch.  If the band is dead, 
you hear nominal silence.  If a signal comes up anywhere in the 
passband, the NR will build a filter around it and you'll hear it.

In these days of low sunspot activity, this can be a great way to 
monitor for a band opening without staring at a computer screen, or 
listening to fatiguing band noise.
