Hi Jim, My experience is only with CW. If the band is just noisy and the signals are strong, turning on the NR results in more pleasing listening. But if the signals are generally weak like they might be on 10 or 15 meters, turning on the NR usually impairs readability at any setting. I have better success without NR. And yes I do increase volume with NR engaged but not as much as you have indicated.
