[Elecraft] Volume Level with NR

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Jim,

My experience is only with CW. If the band is just noisy and the signals are
strong, turning on the NR results in more pleasing listening. But if the
signals are generally weak like they might be on 10 or 15 meters, turning on
the NR usually impairs readability at any setting. I have better success
without NR. And yes I do increase volume with NR engaged but not as much as
you have indicated.

73,
