For transmit settings, follow the “Basic Voice-Mode Setup” on page 15 of the manual. I tried to do it by tweaking knobs and never got anywhere until, in desperation, I finally read the manual.
For more “punch”, I collected advice on TX EQ and compression from this mailing list and compiled it into a blog post. https://observer.wunderwood.org/2015/09/09/transmit-audio-and-compression-with-the-elecraft-kx3/ I run NR at a fairly low level, typically 4-5. NR works better on strong signals with the filters wide open. That gives the biggest difference between noise and signal, so the filter has an easier job. With faint signals, high settings of NR can decide that the signal is noise. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Dec 27, 2017, at 4:34 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > Folks I have had a KX3 for years and used it mostly on CW (ok.. 95%). > With my rotator cuff surgery, I am up most of the night and listen on 75SSB. > > I see NR, and of course PBT I/II as well as the RX EQ.
