It might be instructive to compare what AGC settings in the configuration menu Roger and Lee are using. Might this be involved in the drastically different subjective experiences reported?

- Lee,
- Sorry to say that I've had the exact opposite experience. I haven't had a K2 for a few years. I've had a K3 since July. I worked some in the 160m contest this weekend and with NR on I was able to remove just about all the noise on the band and hear stations way way down in the noise. I never had that experience with a K2 and I've used three different K2s. What I experienced this weekend with my K3 was just phenomenal. I worked about a dozen DX stations some as far out as the middle east. Without NR I wouldn't have heard them at all. I not sure why we have had such different experiences. I didn't have a hard time finding a NR setting that worked. On occasion I would hear some band noise but most of the time it virtually went away with the NR on. I use a full size 160m dipole up about 70'. It's the same antenna I used with the K2s. Perhaps if you were using a vertical, the noise was more severe or just different.

- John: I agree: The noise reduction on the K3 is poor. To my ear, all 16 settings introduce distortion while providing minimal noise reduction. And yes, I have played around with rx eq settings. My little Kenwood 480 has much better N/R than the K3.
- The N/R is my only major complaint about the K3. I hope a firmware fix soon.
