[Elecraft] Volume Level with NR

[Wayne Burdick]

Jim,

Some drop in apparent volume level is typical with NR. Part of the  
drop is due to the removal of noise. Part of it may be a  
psychoacoustic effect (sorry, I'm not an expert on this).

You might also try setting F5-1. Settings from F5-x to F8-x use a  
different algorithm.
