I installed it, it works.  We have electric fences around us, and I 
often hear them, especially in the spring when weeds grow up and they 
arc.  I find them with my KX1 and the neighbors just let me fix them. 
I've got a strong one that just started, I think it's ours.  The 
pastures are still a bit squishy in places and I wasn't looking forward 
to the KX1 trip when I discovered the 4.51 IF Noise Blanker takes it 
completely out on NAR4.  I wasn't aware the NB was changed in 4.51 but 
the NB never took the fences out before.

NR is radically better too.  I've been leaving it engaged all the time, 
it really kills the power line hash.  I don't know what to do with AGC. 
  It's sort of like my wife sending me to the grocery store to get salad 
dressing and I'm standing in front of the shelves with way more choices 
than I'm prepared to make.  In the case of the K3 AGC, I don't even know 
how I *want* it to perform, let alone how to make it do that.  I'm sure 
one of my better informed friends will eventually give me the "K3 AGC 
Cliff Notes."
