I am in agreement with you about the NR. It has been one thing I have raised the issue about for quite a while. I do like the NR on CW. I typically use F1-1 or F1-2. Can't see turning it up any higher than that.
But on SSB, I only use F5-1. I wish there was something less than this so that the background noise would diminish without coloring the audio. I like the way the NR works on the Icom 7600 with the low settings. It is not a major obstacle. More like "I wish it was better". I like the rest of the rig, actually with both of my K3's. 73, N2TK, Tony Only a few more days till Dayton. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alexander Sack Sent: Monday, May 16, 2011 3:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K-3 Noise Reduction On Mon, May 16, 2011 at 11:43 AM, Dick <[email protected]> wrote: > Bill, > > Could you refer me to those urls?

I think a lot of folks on this list use the default settings which are ABSOLUTELY fine but in some instances sub-optimal. I know playing with my AGC did help. My biggest complaint with the NR feature on the K3 (If Eric/Wayne and friends care about my 0.2 cents), is that so far, the various different algorithms have not been that helpful. Though we have a lot of choices with the DSP, I find most of them a complete waste at least on sideband. I typically use F1-1 (default) or F2-1. I do wish there was more of an explanation on the different NR algorithms employed than what's in the manual (plays music for Elecraft to chime in...) ,i.e. what are the differences with respect to the DSP, a general guideline/recommendation on what to try during certain situations....etc. 73 -aps ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
