I too would like to see what settings are being used for NR as I seem to get a large decrease in Audio volume when NR is engaged. I hope those having success with the new NR can enlighten the rest of us...:-) Gary VK4WT/P Sent via BlackBerry® from Telstra

Well, I tried again with RX Eq set flat and the NR functions as I always imagined it should. I will spend more time trying each setting and see if I can find a setting that works well. At this point it would appear as though my RX EQ settings were not compatible with the NR as I had it

[Elecraft] K3 NR

Well the SSB folks lose out yet again on the latest FW revision. Just when the next to useless NR was made to work we have yet another version that favours one mode over others. Rather disappointing result but that appears to be the way of the k3 world at times. Great radio for some but so
