I have to admit I finally heard a NB work today. It was K3 #24's. Frankly, I'm amazed.... and very pleased. I had been trying to prove that the K3's NB wouldn't be any better than the other dozen or so I've had time to try out over the years. Read on.
There is some bizarre OTH monopulse radar going on, quite audible on 60m channels. It registers around S8 here. I can kill it with IF MED1 or MED2 and a light dusting of the DSP T2-7. With the NB on these settings, the band noise shows S5 or so. Back to the normal background noise. Mainly city-dweller noise. No pops. Just sky noise or local stuff. I apologize for being A Doubter. At least there is a freq and time for all to see the same results: 0500Z or so would do it, at least on the West Coast of the US. I've observed the same basic stuff(tm) on 60m over a span of weeks of band-scanning. Not bad Elecraft! Rep rate is maybe 8-10 Hz or so, and there are two sources. One at the S8 level, and another about S9+15. Both can be made to disappear at will. With the right noise blanker that is.
