Elecrafters, I am keeping up with interest the thread on the use of RF gain, ATT, PRE, etc. For the past several years my time has been spent primarily chasing dx on my favorite band, 80m. So far this season, I have managed to work 177 countries on 80m. This means like the 160 guys, I spend most of my time trying to hear weak signals amongst the band noise/qrn/qrm. I have found what for me is a sweet spot with my K3 using diversity rx, with the nb and nr(1-3) , RF and AF gain reduced on both rxs. I would certainly not turn down any improvement, but find the K3 quite good at digging out the weak ones. I use Bose noise canceling headphones. For diversity I use the 4 square on the main and a short Beverage on the Sub RX. I very seldom use narrower bandwidth than 2.0 Khz on rx.
I am looking forward to further improvements in the K3 and congratulate and appreciate the Elecraft team for their continued efforts on our behalf. 73, Mike K5NU ______________________________________________________________ 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
