Brian,

Yes, using APF with a wider bandwidth helps, but a width more narrow than 700 Hz should be usable - 400 Hz and more narrow may be "iffy". FINE tuning with APF turned on is a necessity.

My "formula" for tuning very weak signals - almost can't see them on the P3 - 
is as follows:

- Set the WIDTH to 700 Hz to 1 KHz QRM permitting.

- Turn on NR and set to 5m3 or there about.

- Turn on APF and tune for best audio. Setting the rate to FINE sometimes helps.

This almost completely eliminates noise ringing the filter although the signal 
does ring a little. YMMV.
