I have a K2 with NB and the NB is very effective in the urban/suburban area I live it with lots of noise. But I did not get the NB for my K1 which is only used in the field where it is so quiet I sometimes think my radio has died.
I'd say, get it without the NB and add it later if the noise in your operating environment is intolerable.

But as they say, YMMV. I've noticed the majority of K2s seem to be built with the NB. I don't have it, and since I don't seem to be having any man-made noise problems I've been wondering when & where the NB is useful. Is it mainly for presumably noisier urban and suburban areas? Without it would something like Spectrogram show continual spikes at certain frequencies? And finally, would the DSP board have any substantial effect on the sort of man-made noise the NB addresses?
