I am exited by the prospect of its arrival. The APF on my FT1000D was an excellent aid for weak signal work. I miss not having it on my K3. I'm sure Elecraft's firmware implementation of an APF will be quite unique and hopefully very useful. I'll gladly except every tool that Elecraft can add to the K3.

I used APF in the past on CW contacts when needed.  This feature seems to have been lost on some of todays modern radios.  Because I haven't pounded the brass as much as I used to, I had forgotten about this wonderful APF feature.  Those of us who have used it on CW know how really great this feature is.  Weak CW signals that are unreadable are enhanced with APF making some QRP contacts possible that otherwise wouldn't be heard.  Wayne has said he is putting this feature on the K3 list.  I am thrilled that Elecraft is considering this feature.  I am looking forward to having APF on my K3s.  Roy Morris  W4WFB
