Hi, according to preview discussion on noise blanker of K3 I decided to write few words also as I have lot of experiences with that I guess... My antennas are really close to electric fence (just few metres) so the pulses on all bands with K3 are over S9+20dB !
A few points as the results of my tests and final settings which I am using on my K3 untill now. 1. Only the combination of the dsp and IF is able to kill the el.fence pulses 2. dsp/t1-7 does not help in my case with any combination of IF values 3. IF NAR/MED/WID does not help if values are lower than 4... 4. dsp/t2-5,6,7 or t3-5,6,7 values are really agressive and it suppressing the pulses effectively if its in combination with IF setting MED or WID with higher than 4 values. My standard setting to be able to live on the bands together with el.fence close to my antennas is: dsp t3-5 IF WID4 In case of dry weather I must switch to: dsp t3-7 IF WID5 THE MAIN PROBLEM IS that with the values higher than 5 on dsp/IF it affecting the receiving signals a lot. Even strong sigs on the bands are coloured a lot and its not copyable for speed higher than 30 wpm. The weak signals are destroyed with agressive dsp/IF setting so much that its useless on lowbands unfortunately. I am NOT anxious or even dissapointed with that as Elecraft boys still working on the DSP/IF noise blanker function code I guess and it takes time to debug it. 73, Petr OK1RP K3 #778 -- Petr Ourednik [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://ok1rp.blog.cz (Hamradio) http://topband.blog.cz (160m) http://www.qsl.net/ok1rp _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
