[Elecraft] K3S Noise reduction Test

Had an ANC noise canceller like this. MFJ makes one too.  Same idea. 
Collins also had such a thing for their mobile way back when using a 
separate whip on the back of the vehicle.

They work well but only for one signal source at a time.  If you have 
two noise sources located differently, you can cancel only one.

There was also the nastiness of blowing up the inputs of these units 
when operating high power.  Some way of isolating the circuitry or 
protecting it from transmitted RF was needed.  The desire for QSK may 
make this a little difficult.

A conventional noise limiter would still be needed to handle the left 
over sources.
