[Elecraft] APF (audio peaking filter) on the K3/K3S/KX3

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Me too. Actually, I miss small variations we used to see regularly on the CW
bands - slight chirp on some sigs, variations in keying by people using bugs
and hand keys, etc. Gone are the days one could tune across the bands and
recognize individual operators and their rigs after hearing just a few
characters.

All we have left is a little noise to create a listening "environment". 

Listening to keyers and keyboards on rigs with pristine keying
characteristics is to me a lot like listening to a phone band filled with
identical computer-generated "voices". (Stand by, that will come, Hi!)

Well actually I prefer copying CW with a certain amount of noise present.
 Pure tone, no noise CW, as from a practice oscillator or an S9++ signal
quickly becomes boring and I loose concentration(or something).
It's perhaps why I prefer to dig out weak signals (ESP) from the noise on
the band.
However I do really appreciate the tools available in the K3 to do this :)
APF works great if you really learn how to use it.

Any one else?
