[Elecraft] NR and Audio increase

2009-04-08 Thread Merv Schweigert
The post from BA4RF etc about the NR causing the audio to blast,

I mentioned I do not work SSB but tried went to SSB and confirmed
the increase in audio, 
well its on all modes as far as I can tell,  to be more truthfull I do 
not use
NR as I find it to non effective to CW work at least the for what I want,

If you have a decent signal strength CW signal tuned to the pitch setting
and hit NR with a setting of 4 the audio increases dramatically,  I 
tried it
also listening to AM broad cast on 40 meters and had the same increase.

So unless its my radio only again the NR function is not working on all
modes as of the last couple updates.  AGC updates effected the NR
in some fashion?  I did not try changing any of the AGC settings to see
if they made any difference.

Re: [Elecraft] NR and Audio increase

2009-04-08 Thread Wes Stewart

I can almost guarantee this is going to be another one of those, My radio 
doesn't act like that threads.

The reason being, this phenomenon is level sensitive.  With a weak signal the 
noise reduction lowers the signal strength but above a certain level, it 
increases the signal dramatically.

With a -110 dBm signal (1000 Hz beat note) turning on NR (F1-1) reduces the 
audio signal 6 dB.

At -100 dBm input, NR *increases* the signal 11 dB.  At -90 dBm it's up 16 dB.

Hi Wes,
are you talking about situation when RX EQ is FLAT?
Did you tra some EQ settings and what is as result?

Thanks,
