Yeah, I agree with what you are saying. I like the NB on CW, but on SSB even at F1-1 it sounds somewhat like being in a tunnel. I would like to see a NB setting that is less aggressive and that doesn't change the audio as much. Also it would be nice if the audio didn't reduce in volume when turning on the NB. Will any of the AGC settings like SLP, THR, PLS, HLD, DCY have an impact on what SSB sounds like with the NB?

I generally prefer minimal DPS noise reduction for SSB and have rarely used the x-4 settings. I generally stuck to 4-1 or 4-2 in previous versions and rode the RF Gain to further reduce background noise when needed. Just can't find a happy setting with v3.27. It might sound OK on one signal but awful on another, resulting in far more dial tweaking than I usually like to do. RX EQ is flat as has been suggested, just doesn't help much. The tunnel effect is a bit less bothersome when using headphones, but I generally prefer using a pair of powered desktop speakers with AFX (Bin) turned on. Haven't tried NR in CW mode yet, my comments apply only to SSB. I've reverted to 3.25 and then back to 3.27 just to make sure I'm hearing what I think I'm hearing. I think I can live with the new NR settings, but sure would like to have them *in addition to* the 3.25 filters which were damn near perfect for my ears. Maybe some additional less aggressive NR settings (5-1 through 5-4, 6-1 through 6-4, etc.) will make everyone happy? Just more free advice... ;-) 73, Paul WW2PT Lyle Johnson wrote: > > > The 3.27 NR F3-1 is *identical* to 3.25 NR F1-4. > The 3.27 NR F3-2 is *identical* to 3.25 NR F2-4. > The 3.27 NR F3-3 is *identical* to 3.25 NR F3-4. > The 3.27 NR F3-4 is *identical* to 3.25 NR F4-4. > > The 3.27 NR F1- is "lighter" than the 3.25 NR. > The 3.27 NR F2- is a little lighter than the 3.25 NR. > The 3.27 NR F4- is "heavier" than the 3.25 NR. > > I am an SSB op, not a CW op, and the NR now works much better for me. > > -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-NR-tp3515659p3518140.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: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
