For NR I always use BHI (Gap Hear it) or Lingua (http://www.ssbusa.com/LINGUA.html) products. They seem to be very similar technology, with the audio implemented a bit differently. If you use headphones for very weak signals in large amounts of noise, I recommend the 10W BHI speaker, it has a newer, quieter audio circuit, or the Lingua. It is impressive the amount of noise these devices eliminate without loosing almost any signal strength, literally things you would not hear otherwise in a high noise floor come out crystal clear. They pretty much eliminate listening fatigue in noisy environments.. Been using them for three years now in the middle of metropolitan London (England) with great success. The only time I don't use them is on rare, short intervals when 40m is very quiet and local propagation excellent. They are AF-type NR using some adaptive neural net technology, and IMHO much better than the K3's or any other RF NR that I have seen (FT5000, ICOM and TS top of the line models) - for SSB Voice that is. Not for CW.
