Hi Pete, The NR of the K3 is not a feature that shines. That's why I never tried it in contests. But in a few weeks there's the CQWW CW again. Maybe I will give it a go.
My two cents worth on the NR of the K3. When applying NR I woud expect a better S/N ratio of some kind on a weaker signal (that's why it is called NR). On SSB I never found a setting that increased the S/N ratio or readability of the signal to MY ears (settings F5-1 to F8-4) CW works better (F1-1 to F4-4) but I seldom use it. For good S/N ratio I rely totally on the K3 filtering with APF as last resort. The only time I really loved the NR, was when I worked on 160m in the 9L5MS dx-pedition (in tropic thunderstormy Africa) for the whole night. It kept the fatigue of constant static noise away. 73 Arie PA3A Op 5-11-2012 23:37, Pete Smith N4ZR schreef: > I've read Fred Cady's book and the manual, and I'm still at sea - anyone > have opinions or recommendations about using NR for CW or phone > contesting? I assume the settings are probably different. > ______________________________________________________________ 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
