Agreed! I have tried a bunch of settings and have some that really suit my personal preference. Here's what I use on the lowest bands:
PRE off ATT on AGC DCY Soft AGC HLD 0.50 AGC PLS nor AGC SLP 006 AGC THR 003 AGC--F 120 AGC--S 025 Very strong signals may give a little distortion, it could be their signal is overdriven, but I use the RF control. Noise from lighting static, and neighbors very lousy electric fence is not bothersome. Hopefully through the sharing of different settings, those who might be a bit challenged by the flexibility will be helped. I have saved these settings so I don't lose them when I diddle some more. :-) 73, Bill K9YEQ K2 #35; KX1 #35; K3 #1744; mini mods ATS-3B -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Gilbert Is most of this discussion on NR in the K3 from users who would like to improve the SNR on louder signals for easier listening in noisy conditions? I get the impression we have people expecting different things from these controls. The optimum AGC and NR design strategy to improve SNR for weak signals might be quite a different story than for stronger signals and noise, even if the SNR's are initially the same. That might show up fairly dramatically on a rig with as large a dynamic range as the K3. Since I mostly worry about readability on really weak signals I've had a bit of a hard time understanding what this was all about. I just use settings similar to those suggested by W3FPR and K6LL and I've been very happy with the results ... which are much better than any Icom or Kenwood I ever owned. 73, Dave AB7E Lee Trout wrote: > I...............No amount of tinkering with the parameters significantly improves the NR on the K3. > .................... > I wonder at times if the concept is wrong; perhaps it would be better to forget about "signal enhancement" and concentrate on the noise reduction. > > 73, Lee (K9CM) ______________________________________________________________ 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
