This is a 'me too'. Having, in waiting for my K3, read all sorts of accolades for the NB and NR, I feel, now that I have the radio in front of me, somewhat deflated. The NB is, it seems to me, no better than many others I have used (eg TS-850) and the NR does not seem, to me at least, to be any better than that on the TS-480 this K3 replaced. And, I have experimented with all the various settings available and am running the latest firmware.
Having said that, I remain 95% delighted with the K3. The strong signal handling is fantastic, I like the ergonomics and the tx audio is simply excellent. I would not swap it for any other radio. But, the NB and NR have not lived up to my (maybe unrealistic) expectations. 73 Stephen G4SJP On 17/08/2008 20:45, "Bill W5WVO" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Jim Brown wrote: > >> Yes, but what is NR and NB doing to signals you're trying to > copy? >> It's easy to fool yourself about how well it works when > listening >> ONLY to band noise.
