[Elecraft] The K4's new noise reduction

[Drew AF2Z]

That sounds promising! A side-by-side comparison of the same noise 
samples on a K3 would be interesting as well.

Our early testers are saying it's as good or better than anything else they've used, removing stochastic noise without the characteristic "hollow" sound of earlier algorithms. In my own tests, I'm finding weak SSB signals I simply couldn't copy without it. It goes beyond just reducing listening fatigue. This type of NR operates in the frequency domain, like spectral subtraction, but without the usual artifacts (musical tones) or long sampling delays.
