[Guy Olinger, K2AV]

NOTHING removes ALL noise.  The K3 can pretty much nail key clicks.  It also 
completely kills whatever my neighbor beyond my neighbor does in cold 
weather that I can see all the way up to VHF analog TV.  I'll take those two 
and smile about anything else only moderately reduced.

I note at one point some had complained they couldn't eliminate some of the 
(Chinese?) jamming signals.  I would note that those signals were 
specifically DESIGNED to resist elimination.

73, Guy.
