[Elecraft] K3 - Digital Noise Reduction

[N2TK, Tony]

Richard, I agree with you. The NR is still not quite up to snuff, at least
my mind. It is my one ongoing pet peeve. I think it is too aggressive for
the lowest settings too. I still favor the way Icon does it with a
continuous variable control starting out with little NR and increasing
without gong through banks of settings.
Maybe in theory the banks work and are helpful. But in a contest I favor the
Icom method. I don't think I have been able yet to turn on the NR to pull
out a weak one better than listening without it on.
Maybe someday?

I find even the lowest level (1 -1) on the noise reduction is too  
aggressive especially with weak signals.  You can learn to love  
digital noise reduction, I had an NIR 10 and used judiciously was very  
helpful.  This morning trying to work a station in Senegal  6W2SC, I  
wished the NR was a little less or more adjustable.  Maybe a future  
software upgrade.
