During SS this past weekend, I QSYed to a well-load 40 late Sunday and noticed an impressive and unusual level of S9 noise. The NB1 was on at the time of the QSY (HI THRU). The DSP denoiser and a tighting of filters helped, but the noise was pervasive and still S5. On whim, I turned off the noise blanker and voila...no more noise (well no more than usual for my neighborhood). Turned the blanker back on...noise level back up. No difference between NB1 and NB2 and Hi/Low thru settings
I played with this some more with the same result. Continued with the remainder of the contest. Today, after turning the radio back on, I've not been able to duplicate the problem with any combination of NB or DSP setting tried so far. Only difference, 40 CW is almost empty of signals here in TX tonight. Any insights? Otherwise, K2 2714 was a pleasure to use in the contest. 73 de David _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
