I did just under 1,000 Q's on mine, in about 17 hours.

At my home QTH, in the middle of Chicago, I have a moderately high noise
level that the K2 Noise Blanker won't touch (the Omni V NB does). The DSP
is a big help with that. Others on the Elecraft list have said the same thing.
I
tend to leave the DSP noise reduction on all the time at a moderate setting.
I think this is very much a matter of finding the right tweaks, and I think the
Elecraft manual is weak on documenting those settings. On the other hand,
the default settings are pretty damn good, and I've heard the same thing said
about the DSP in the Omni.
