I don't find it to be subjective. But I do know the k3 is very sensitive and using the settings mentioned in a prior email today, work for me too! Give it a try. Perhaps your agc settings might be the culprit.

My little Kenwood 480's NR is much superior to the K3's NR. It is my major complaint about the K3. To my ear it makes CW sound mushy and distorts SSB to the point it is unusable while not doing much to the noise (to me -- these things are subjective). I have read, and tried, the numerous recommendations about combinations of NR settings, RX equalization settings, AGC SLP and AGC THR, etc. The effects have been minimal and the NR remains poor. If the bands are noisy or have high QRN I use the TS-480 rather than the K3. I know that others are satisfied with the NR; it is very strange how subjective this subject is. 73, Lee (K9CM) ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
