Bill, Thanks for support. Unfortunately I do have to disappoint you about the suggestions. I tried, but absolutely no effect when changing the RX-EQ setting. Even when 2.4 and 1.6 were set at -16, it did not have any effect. Except when the original audio signal became weaker due to the lowered cut-off of the high side of the pass-band, the "hiss" became less as well. This is already what I stated before, the level of hiss only seems to be influenced by the audio level.
May be I introduced a misunderstanding when using the word hiss. As it seems almost impossible for me to explain what I hear, it gave me the idea that the word "hiss" may be not the right word for the phenomena I wont to share we you. But I'm not able to make it clearer then I tried so far. I can also say that it is not a pure additional sidetone but it's a combination of several components. 73's, Evert PA2KW -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bill W4ZV Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 14:11 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 audio Evert Bakker (PA2KW) wrote: > For me, I'm quite sure it has to do with the digitalization.

I suspect Jack has identified Evert's problem. The 3.9 kHz artifact should sound exactly as Evert describes. To check, Evert could try setting RX EQ 8 (3.2 kHz) to -16. If this reduces the sound he's hearing, it should prove that the 3.9 kHz artifact is causing his problem. You should not have any reduction in intelligibility for SSB contests by setting RX EQ 8 as above. For CW, I normally set RX EQ 1-2 and 5-8 at -16 dB, since I normally use a 300-440 Hz pitch. 73, Bill W4ZV -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-audio-tp2590280p2592702.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
