[Elecraft] Noise Reduction

[Adrian]

Using NR on 40m in noisy SSB conditions I have tried many combinations.
The best I have found so far is the 6-1 ~ 6-3 range, with AF & RF at max 
at 6-3 to get the weaker signals through very high noise levels we 
currently experience here on 40m.

I previously used the 8-x & 7-x range as it had less effect on audio 
quality, but found it not as
effective on static crash noise as the 6-x range with reasonable signal 
intelligibility.

If the noise can be transferred to a more transparent sound retaining 
reasonable audio quality and level,then that would be great.

I would hope more testing could be done to improve NR on the K3 in the 
future. I do usually decrease RF gain for the best result before using 
NR at all, and try to avoid using NR until the noise becomes just too much.
