The noise will normally be different, Susan. The bandwidth is typically narrower for CW, which means the noise will sound different and be lower in amplitude for CW.
You aren't the first to complain that the rig is "too complicated", but it need not be. The issue is usually there are too many things you can adjust to suit your preferences but, once that's done, it's set-and-forget. So if you can offer some specifics, perhaps the assembled gang can come up with a setup you like. People question about whether I still should be felling trees or climbing masts, on ships at the tender young age of 72. As I wrote you separately I'll refer them to your web site sailing alone across the Pacific at... well... older than I am now. 73 Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- rig Aloha: I have had my K3 since last October. I think I have given it a fair trail. It is just too darned complicated for me. I have never been able to get it to give the same background noise for cw as it gives for ssb. I think I want to get rid of it. Can anyone advise me of a rig, same price range, for me to purchase? Susan If you don't change direction you WILL arrive exactly where you're headed!!
