For taking care of key clicks, NB LEVEL set to DSP t1-7 or t2-7 and IF
*OFF*  is best.  I got excellent results with the milder t1-7 in 4.51.
 IF ON is traditional IF blanking with all the traditional artifacts.
Kept on the K3 because it's still best for some kinds of noise.
Traditional IF blanking in anyone's RX still will create lots of
artifacts in a crowded contest band with lots of strong signals,
including the K3.

73, Guy.
