Don & all, I was also besieged with noise. I changed my settings which I acquired, not sure because the memory is failing :-), and tried your minimum settings... my GOSH, a whole new world. I will test further, but so far on a very "noisey" 75, the radio quited right down. We forget about all the internal settings. I do not yet have the DsP upgrade but will once the 144m mod becomes available so there is only one entrance into the radio to accomplish the upgrades.

The only way I can get my K3 to have almmost as much noise with the antenna removed as it has with the antenna connected is to set the AGC Threshold to its minimum value (002). My AGC Threshold is normally set at 008. As a side-point, I set my AGC SLP at 002 because that produces a response similar to that of the K2 which I liked - weak signals sound weaker, strong signals stronger and I can judge that without reference to the S-meter. If you wish to try some other tests, let me know and I will try to help. 73, Don W3FPR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
