Good advice from Chuck and Bob below. The thing to remember is that the noise reduction isn't just an on/off button. There are 32 levels of noise reduction to choose from. Some of the levels add just a touch of NR while others almost destroy the signal, adding artifacts and other things in the process.
So you gotta play with it a little bit to suit your taste. You'll find a setting that pleases you. Here's what Wayne said about the settings when he released firmware rev. 3.30 on 2 September 2009: __________________________________________________ "* MORE NR (NOISE REDUCTION) SETTINGS: There are now 32 NR settings. F1-x to F4-x originally appeared in firmware revision 3.27, and are recommended for most applications. F5-x to F8-x are the same as F1-x to F4-x from firmware revision 3.25. They provide a varying mix between processed (“wet”) and unprocessed (“dry”) audio. When x is 1, the mix is mostly "dry"; when x is 4, it's 100% "wet". A small letter “m” (e.g. "NR m F5-1") reminds you that "mixed" settings are in use. Note 1: When you’re experimenting with different NR ADJ settings, allow 1 to 3 seconds for the DSP to fully adapt to present signal conditions. Note 2: F5-x and higher NR settings may alter the amplitude of single-tone (CW) signals somewhat, depending on the pitch. Voice signals are less affected." __________________________________________________ R, Al W6LX/4 ______________________________________________________________ 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
