HI JERRY, 


You may be thinking of the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones. These operate at 
audio and an extra microphone is added to each earbud to pick up background 
audio in your hamshack or workplace. I'm guessing that the signal from one of 
these added microphone earbuds is then inverted; and, in turn each earbud adds 
the signal from its extra microphone to the audio signal from the phone's audio 
output. In that way, the external noise is cancelled when listening to both 
phones. 





One way one might utilize this process in diversity mode using two radio 
receivers within one radio - like in a K3 or K3s - is to offset receiver B from 
receiver A, such that receiver B is only receiving noise. Then sum the 
inversion of that in an external audio circuit with the output of receiver A to 
receive just the CW signal generated by receiver A. This in effect would cancel 
the noise from each receiver similarly to that with the Bose. 





Right now I'm using the K3 in diversity mode by receiving RXB via the AUX input 
(with a Beverage antenna) and RXA via ANT1 port (with a SteppIR vertical) and 
letting the K3 process the audio in its native diversity mode. To this I'm also 
utilizing the APF feature. It's an easy guess that this beats out the scheme 
described above. However, if might simply be fun to try the adhoc method. 73,

Subject: [Elecraft] Audio/noise diversity/phasing question 

I've read where a received signal is split into two signal paths, the noise 
is somehow shifted 180 degrees (not sure how without affecting the desired 
signal), the two signals are fed to your headset, one to each side, somehow 
our brains then perceive the signal to POP out of the noise. Does this apply 
to the K3/S ? I'm very interested in anything that effectively results in a 
higher signal to noise. 



Thanks in advance.
