Perhaps you have your Width open too wide for CW, remember, you don't need to have it open 2KHz wide to use CW. Perhaps you have your notch filter on Auto with SSB and off with CW? Perhaps you have no NR on or NB on while in CW but do with SSB? Or perhaps you have a DIFFERENT NR setting on for CW than SSB, or even worse, the WRONG settings.. Keep CW at 1-4 and SSB at 5-8 on the NR.
Otherwise, you should be getting the same amount of gain in SSB as you do CW. > Date: Thu, 1 Jul 2010 18:55:29 -0700 > From: ussvdha...@yahoo.com > To: andy.en...@live.com > CC: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > Subject: [Elecraft] cw vs ssb noise level > > When in ssb, I have an acceptable noise level, but change to cw and wow does > it ever rise....what is going on? or as they say in brooklyn > > "Wha hoppen? > > If you don't change direction you WILL arrive exactly where you're headed!! > Susan Meckley, Skipper W7KFI-mm AFA9SM USSV DHARMA > > > --- On Thu, 7/1/10, Andy Engle <andy.en...@live.com> wrote: > > > From: Andy Engle <andy.en...@live.com> > > Subject: [Elecraft] Best approach for K1 rx alignment? > > To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > Date: Thursday, July 1, 2010, 3:31 PM > > Hey guys!
