I loaded 4.22 for the CQWW CW this weekend and had a great time playing with
it.  2 of my beverages are not working so I originally thought I would just
need APF where my missing beverages were out, but I ended up trying it in
many 80 and 160 situations and found it extremely useful.  At first, I
didn't read the instructions well enough to turn the correct knob to adjust
APF, but I finally figured it out.  It REALLY brought signals out of the
noise that were hard to copy.  Amazing!  It helped me get 72 countries on 80
and 52 countries on 160 this weekend in a single op effort.  My only request
would be to cut the ringing/gain (whichever applies) back just a bit but it
really adds contacts to your score.  Maybe the gain could be user adjustable
in a menu?

Great new tool!
