Down in the valley where the less-than-DXCC serfs eke out their lives
hoping to make another new-one, I for one just enjoy the capability to
adjust the receiver to new filters or shifting the cut-off better than the
YaeKenCom radio I was used to using.
If I were to re-read the K3 operator manual (and a fine manual it is) I
would simply add more trivia to my brain as to what the capabilities are.
But what I'd really enjoy sitting down with is a K3 for Dummies guide to
using the enhanced receiver capabilities of the K3 over the lower class of
radios. I'm stepping up from a FT-897D to the K3. I can tell the
difference. It's obvious. But, I'm sure I'm missing out on more -- and
that's entirely my own project to find out. I am looking forward to it!
Here's the other proof of the difference. I'm getting for the first time
comments about the audio quality on the K3 -- before they even know what
rig it is. Never heard a word like that on the FT-897.
I never operated the big$ rigs like 7#00 or pro{123}, or ft/ts-2000 to
compare.

Vic,
You probably won't be using NR at these narrow bandwidths anyway; it's been
explained before by Lyle and quoted in the message in this thread from Bill
W4ZV:
"NR is rarely useful if the bandwidth is narrow. If you set your CW width
to 400 Hz or less, for example, there is no point in running NR *unless* you
want to use it as a sort-of "smart squelch."...."
Thinking about it I never feel the need to use NR when the bandwidth is
cranked right down so it sort of makes sense....

I find RX EQ settings have a significant effect on NR; I have boosted the
400-800Hz channels a few dB and that causes the cw note to appear to
'jump
out at you' under NR along with reduction in the noise. Can't remember NR
settings but it's not extreme and I aim for least echoing and character
softening...
This is not the best approach because of the following: when the 50 and
100 Hz DSP filters are enabled the RX EQ is disabled (I forgot the
reason for this, but Lyle explained it to me).
