[Elecraft] K3: NB/NR and AM SWL?

[Don Wilhelm]

  James,

The only answer I can give is "experiment".  There is no setting that is 
good for any particular mode, but the setting of NB/NR must be 
customized for the noise source.  That noise source will vary from 
location to location, and from time to time.
The best I can offer is to familiarize yourself with the controls and 
theory of operation for both NB and NR and use that knowledge to combat 
whatever form of noise you are encountering at your location.

In other words, there is no "magic bullet" - it depends more on the 
noise source than on the K3 capabilities.
