I find the noise reduction NR in KX3 is much easier to use and gives a better effect than NR in K3. I just wonder whether other elecrafters feel the same.
Regrettably, none of the 4 x 8 =32 settings in the NR of K3 gives the performance in par with the NR in KX3. My observations only relate to SSB operation. I always try to find a way to effectively use the NR in K3 but failed. Perhaps, experts here could guide me to the right way to use the NR in K3. 73 Johnny VR2XMC ________________________________ 寄件人︰ Lyle Johnson <[email protected]> 收件人︰ [email protected] 傳送日期︰ 2014年07月5日 (週六) 12:47 PM 主題︰ Re: [Elecraft] K3 - noise reduction query There is an incredible range of characteristics to unwanted "signals" that we loosely call noise. The K3 has an array of tools to fight noise, and sometimes they work well in concert and sometimes better alone. There is an IF blanker with adjustable threshold and pulse width - but some impulse noise ay wider than the widest available setting and this is likely to include lightning-based pulses. There is also a DSP-based "IF" noise blanker. There is a noise reduction, or denoiser function available with a wide range of settings. AGC settings can also affect the operation, and apparent effectiveness, of the DSP-based noise reduction and to some degree the noise blanker. There is a pulse function in the AGC system that you can enable or disable, These settings may all interact to some degree. As the station operator, you have a complete communications system to manage: antenna, feedline, QTH, desired path, time of day and so forth. The radio is one component of the system. The K3 offers a range of tools for you to use, but in the end there is unlikely to be a "magic" setting that works for everything. If there were, we would have set that at the factory for you (and probably removed the settable "knobs" for you to adjust)! I suggest that if you are having a severe noise problem, you experiment with the various settings - including AGC threshold and slope and PRE and ATT settings as part of the tool set - and note which work best for you in your system and under which types of noise and mode(s) of operation. You won't hurt anything, and you may learn a lot. And, yes, some radios may work better than others with some types of noise under some circumstances. 73, Lyle KK7P (still learning after all of these years...) > NO MAGIC BULLET. > >> I am hoping someone out there has come up with a magic bullet setting >> (or even a workable setting) that can be shared.
