[Elecraft] K3 using Clear Speech Speaker

I've been using the Heil version of the Clear Speech Noise Reduction Speaker
for ~ 5 years. It has a 5 position noise control and I usually leave it at
1, which knocks down the noise without any negative effects on the sound.
Heil no longer makes it, but I believe it uses similar circuitry.
My default setting is at 1 out of 5, and this cleans up the harsh noise very
nicely without noticeable audio degradation.
When the noise gets really bad, I have used it all the way up to 5, and
still don't find the audio objectionable.
I also have not had a lot of success with the K3 built in NR, but this is
probably due to my lack of understanding how to use it; but since the Clear
Speech works so well, I take the lazy way out.
If there's any good updated info on how to use the NR effectively, I'd be
all ears. Maybe someone who really has it working well can do a YouTube?
My 2 cents.

P.S. I still give the K3 a 5+

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 - using Clear Speech Speaker
Is anyone using the West Mountain Clear Speech Noise Reduction Speaker
with their K3? If so, how do you like and what does it do for you that
the K3 does not?
Thanks,
