I agree with Roy Morris.  No amount of tinkering with the parameters significantly improves the NR on the K3.  

The Kenwood 480 has dual NR's, one for CW and one for SSB.  Both are much more effective than the K3's NR without causing any degradation to the signal that I can detect.  Thus I use the 480 rather than the K3 under noisy conditions and/or QRN.

I wonder at times if the concept is wrong; perhaps it would be better to forget about "signal enhancement" and concentrate on the noise reduction.
