k3 - AFX effectiveness

GW0ETF
Been having a fresh look at the AFX in view of the recent postings about pulling out callsigns from pile-ups. It's been set to BIN for a long time now and I remember this being quite effective at giving some spatial separation to signals differing slightly in frequency when using stereo headphones. However, now the effect seems to be much less noticeable than I remember, and this with the same headphones and settings; turning AFX on and off gives a definite change, but the spatial effect seems to much less.

I wonder how others see the effectiveness of AFX and particularly the BIN setting. Pretty sure I haven't done anything to alter this; maybe I'll dig out one of the much earlier firmware versions and see if it's maybe altered over software upgrades.
