My first thought was to change the EQ more like I have my TX eq set pulling the low end down and raising the high end up does tend to accent the high-end of speech for clarity on phone but on a quiet band makes the band noise sound hissy.
I don't have my low end set up to the plus side as high nor the high end set as low on the negative side as N1EU but have went in this general direction to smooth out the band noise but in a very active round table I don't know if the noise tone is really that important in relation to good receive audio clarity. If you go too high on the plus side of the bottom end and too negative on the high end you can tend to use loose some signal clarity and get a little muddy. 73 de KE4WY Jim These work for me, CW or Phone: RX Eq settings Low to High audio band: 50 = +2 100= +2 200= +1 400= 0 800= -1 1.6k= -2 2.4k= -3 3.2k= -4 ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ________________ -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Adrian Sent: Saturday, April 28, 2012 8:06 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 - background hiss You guys are on the wrong track, NR is a waste of time on the K3 on SSB, esp low bands and attenuation ATT and/or RF gain reduction is way better to keep audio clarity whilst making noise transparent. Recommend; AGC threshold = 8 AGC slope = 0. This white noise issue is fixed with N1EU pink noise roll-off settings; RX Eq settings Low to High audio band: 50 = +9 100= +5 200= +2 400=0 800=-2 1.6k=-3 2.4k=-5 3.2k=-10 Problem solved .
