I have had my K3 for a couple of months - so I am still learning. At this point, my primary concern is the amount of background hiss that I have when no signals are being received. For example: When on 75 this AM I am listening to a local net. When no one is talking the background hiss rises.
When I switch to my TS-480, signals are just as strong and everything is the same - EXCEPT there is nearly zero background hiss. I use the ATT on both rigs. I much prefer the near FM silence of the 480. I have already reduced it somewhat by use of the RX Equalizer. However, it needs a lot more reduction to get to what I feel is an acceptable level. Of note: I live in a rural area that has no background noise - daytime level on 75 meters is zero. Suggestions would be most appreciated.
