Thanks for all the discussion on the APF. I've got a technique now and I think I can refine it into something useful. vy 73,Dave N4KD

I've found it necessary to use both the shift and Fine tuning-- these are not optional for effective use of APF. I've been using macros to engage and dis-engage the APF. One reason I keep combing through the Elecraft Reflector postings is for gems such as Brian's suggestion below. There is always something new to learn. Thanks, Brian. 73, Chuck NI0C KX1, K2-10, K3 Quote: The technique I'm using with the APF also involves NR like so: On an uncrowded band, set the DSP BW to 700 to 1000 Hz. If you have a roofing filter in that range stay within it. Turn on NR set to mF5-3 or there about. The wide BW helps the NR work well. The "mix" mode lets a little unprocessed signal+noise through. This is a good weak signal search mode. When you find a signal you want to copy, turn on APF and peak it in the filter. Fine tuning helps. There is little ringing because NR has reduced the noise amplitude. You can decrease the DSP BW a little but the NR is more effective with uncorrelated noise. This technique has gotten me many pelts in the QRP Fox Hunts. 73, Brian, K0DTJ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to n...@bellsouth.net ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
