The K3 has still one of the best Noise Blankers around. With all the handles available to adjust, I have not found any type of noise at my qth that cannot be at least reduced to make a copy intelligible. On signals, it is so impressive with those that literally cannot be heard w/o the blanker and then when it's on, the signal pops out of the noise clutter magically!
Combined with the NR feature, just about any signal that is peeking above or buried in the noise can be made intelligible. If it were not for the NR function, I would have never worked the A52 last year on SSB. CW was routine (albeit he was S2/3), but the SSB signal was there somewhere as you listened to him and only adjustment of the NR made the contact possible.
Very nice video demo, Rick! Your setting were very near mine. In fact, I rarely touch mine from the settings I found that work at my qth. Nice to just tap the NB button and everything becomes quite!
