Well, this is very interesting.

While I haven't tried ALL the NR settings, I'm STILL not able to get a
dropout with NR turned on either.

Tony, Ken, can you supply me with a complete list of all your settings
when this happens to see if there is some combination of settings that
will cause the dropout on my K3.  In particular all your AGC settings
from CONFIG: menu.  And everything on the front panel you have set.

Perhaps there is a certain combination that introduces the effect.

If you could estimate the length of the drop out in milliseconds, what
would it be?

73, Guy.
