[Elecraft] Need for advice was; noise reduction

[Wayne Burdick]

Pete,

The K3 defaults to settings that should work for most operators, and  
this is reflected in many places in the owner's manual (for example,  
see the first paragraph in the CONFIG Menu section, page 53). That  
said, I'd like to enhance the owner's manual along the lines you  
suggest.

I've already noted that I should provide advice regarding per-mode AGC  
slow/fast and other AGC settings. What other areas would you like to  
see additional guidance in?

73,
Wayne
