[Elecraft] NR of my dreams

When the new firmware 4.51 came out there were some postings commenting on
the improvement in the NR. However, I didn't really pay attention. The
previous versions of NR had proven to be of little use with the particular
kind of noises that plague my QTH, so I hadn't even turned on NR for
months.  I am almost entirely a CW op and have had no occasion to try the
NR on SSB until tonight. The D64 station has been on CW, easy enough to
work, but tonight he is on 17 meter phone. I tuned to his frequency and I
could tell that he was talking, but he was buried in atmospheric noises. NB
did little good, and I was about to give up and go watch the Olympics when
I thought to try NR. Magic! Using the same settings I had left over from
the previous firmware version (5--1) the noise just disappeared, and the
op's voice came loud and clear in my phones. Big improvement. This promises
to be a boon to my operations. Thanks very very much to all who worked on
this!
