I have Elecraft K3 Serial # 924 (kit) and, after a very straightforward assemble, test, and calibration, everything appears to be working perfectly, except for one small concern that may or may not be a real issue. Any advice would be appreciated.
When I am listening to any SSB signal (or AM signal) and I engage the Noise Blanker (NB) function, both the S-Meter reading and the audio drop way down. For example, if I am listening to an SSB signal at S-9 and have the audio set at a moderate level, engaging the NB IF function, at any level from NAR1 through WID7 results in an S-Meter drop to S1 or lower and an audio drop to an almost inaudible level. I understand that the NB-IF function may result in some loss of the signal, but the loss I'm experiencing seems excessive to me. I have tried the NB function with the ACG set for Slow, Fast, and Off, with the same results. Is this normal, or do I have something set incorrectly? Any advice would be appreciated.
