[Elecraft] K3 - noise reduction query

[Bill W2BLC]

It is lightning season and I have been floundering around the menus on 
the K3's DSP NR system. I have found no setting that really do much of 
clean-up on lightning static. I also have tried using the ATT and RF 
Gain settings also.

The sad part is that My cheap little Kenwood TS480 does a much better 
job of cleaning up this noise.

Of course, lightning static is very random and difficult to reduce. My 
use of HF is 40 and 75, so directional antennas are not an option - as 
some suggested.

Please do not answer with direct emails - the group needs to share in 
this knowledge.

Thanks,
