I am currently checked into the Eastern OK SWOT net at 144.250. KD5ZVE
is in Claremore, OK, 439km from my location in EM12jq.  There is a
heavy thunderstorm 30 NM from me between us.  With the NR on my K3 set
to F8-1 I am able to copy his USB signal without any trouble at all.

Rig is K3 SN 1055 using the XV144 XVRTR with the preamp in a TE
Systems 1452G amplifier running 350 watts.  The antenna is an M2 18XXX
18 element Yagi.

That's how it works...

I am perfectly satisfied with the performance of the New NR additions.

My hat is off to the great Elecraft Team.
