Yes, there is extensive DSP in this radio. However, the NR is not yet implemented. Check the user manual errata (KX3 Owner's Manual Errata Rev B4-1 - June 1, 2012) on the Elecraft web site for details on firmware enhancements still to come. For example, the NB, though implemented can only be set on or off right now - levels will be provided later - and some other features are also on the "to do" list.
When planning to use APF, be sure to first turn on CWT, then tune the signal as close to the center of the indicator as is reasonably possible (it doesn't have to be exact, however), then SPOT the signal, then set a fairly narrow bandwidth, then turn on APF. Experiment with it! It is pretty cool! 72/73 de JP WF4Z On Mon, Jul 2, 2012 at 10:51 AM, Sid Leben <[email protected]> wrote: > I received my KX3 a few days ago & we are getting acquainted.
