Thanks for taking the time to do those recordings for us.
In a nutshell I would say that the noise reduction would greatly reduce my
listening fatigue. In both ssb and cw the resulting audio is softened ie
similar to reducing audio bandwidth.
I prefer this effect to simply reducing IF
Any strong unmodulated carrier seems to work. Theses are the things that
you would use the autonotch filter for.

I wonder since this is a software detected mod at setup if the
firmware program could report it is there. (alternatively, maybe the K3
can report it like it does key err) I'm not keen on zapping the front
end with a high signal level from an uncalibrated source to find out if
it is working.

2.25 or 2.24 are definitly better after I understand that settings are
totally different from previous versions. Just a question : it seems that
any change of settings (FX-Y, especially X, i.e from F3-3 to F2-2) is not
taken while you don't press NR OFF/On again.

I believe that the boot up detection is only to determine whether the
jumper is installed, not whether it has been activated by a strong
signal. I really don't see a need to report that the jumper is installed
on the display since one would surely remember if the jumper has been
installed.
It would give mod installers without means to test a way to assure
themselves that they have properly carried out the task.

every case, SSB was harder to understand (muffled) with the NR on and in
spite of the noise, much easier to understand with NR off. CW sounded great

they have no business anywhere near the K3 RF board with a soldering

No problem here either.

MP3 has a certain amount in common with noise reduction algorithms,
although what is is trying to reduce is weak sounds so close to the

I just got stumped by this, too. In order to turn the sub RX NB on

pay attention when changing bands!) If CONFIG:VFO IND=No, the sub RX

Please don't hand a LID the keys to the kingdom, Kevin. If someone you
didn't hear was already using the frequency, sure you should QSY the net.
That's why you list the frequencies as approximate.

To be honest, based solely on KD5ONS's description, it isn't clear who
QRM'd who here. He stated that the other station informed him as soon
as he started the net that he should QSY. What does that sound like to you?
For what it may be worth (probably not much), I've heard more nets fire
