Susan, I think that the days of having background noise from SSB to CW sound exactly the same are over. They went out the door with DSP, how it processes a signal, and what it ends up doing with it to improve the quality of reception. I can only assume what you are trying to say is that you can't get the filters to filter the same, and the noise floor has a different ambiance to it from one mode to the next. Not that one is louder than the other, because if that's the case, then what you really need is someone to show you how to properly use the Width, Shift ( Hi, Lo) and Notch tools along with the NR and NB all in conjunction to do what you're looking to do. The rig really isn't all the hard to use. 99% of what you're going to do is on the front of the rig. Yes, you have to set the menus up ONE time, after that it's pretty much set it and forget it. Changing to another rig is just going to yield you the same thing, but with a whole new set of menus and controls to learn. Sounds to me like you may be better going back to an older rig like the FT1000MP. That would pretty much achieve what you're after, and cost you half of what you paid for the K3. > Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 12:04:05 -0700 > From: ussvdha...@yahoo.com > To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net; li...@subich.com > Subject: [Elecraft] need advice on rig > > Aloha: > I have had my K3 since last October.
