I like the idea of the mounting plate to keep it stable. I think I will add something like that to my White Rook paddle (I really don't like having to use my left hand for that purpose). Bob N7XY On Jun 4, 2008, at 6:47 PM, Alan Bloom wrote: Regarding the earlier discussion, if anyone is

[Elecraft] K3: Noise Reduction (NR) in FM Mode

Yesterday I discovered by accident (or stupidity) that if you have Noise Reduction engaged and you go to FM mode, you do not receive any intelligible signals. You can tell that there is a signal, but you cannot make it out. I realize that there is no earthy reason to use NR in FM. But, if

Hi John When I worked for Motorola, both their and GE's top of the line two-way FM mobile radios did include noise blankers for the mobile environment. They worked quite well for their intended use. 73, Bob N6WG - Original Message - From: WA6L [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:

Well, I agree that the basic receiving performance of the rig may not be significantly affected, or even noticed at all. But in my case I am not able to set the range of the S-meter properly, which I attribute to the low 8V level. My S-meter can not be adjusted to turn all LEDs off when no

N4PY software simply provides rig control. Basically its a very nice program allows you to totally control your rig via your PC and it cost $65 up front and $30 per year thereafter. HRD provides all the above plus all the digital modes, PSK, RTTY etc. etc. It's free. Steve Ellington [EMAIL

The Motorola and GE 2-way mobile radios with noise blankers were just that ... noise blankers ... that worked in the IF chain and blanked (turned off) the IF's for the duration of a noise pulse. They were primarily found in low band (30 - 50 mHz) radios and were aimed at ignition noise. The NB's

??? I worked on FM gear in the land mobile business as a service rep and salesman and we *never* used a noise blanker. A limiting I.F. amplifier was a basic part of the receiver design since the detector does not respond to amplitude modulation at all, including noise. Noise does not modulate

Aaargh! I meant to say we used high level I.F. limiters so no AM would get to the detector. That included noise. So blankers were never needed. Maybe Motorola didn't use good limiters. Now to see if I can pry my foot out of my mouth... Ron AC7AC -Original Message- ??? I worked on

At least with the Motorola Syntor X, they used a separate and very simple receiver to pick out impulse noise and used this secondary RX detector output to poke holes in the main RX audio. They called it an Extender and I believe it was only included with the low-band Syntor X. It is described as

That could be, Ron. I remember when GE had it in their radio, and we didn't, it soon showed up so we could compete in bids. I imagine the bid process drove that more than any actual need :-) 73, Bob N6WG - Original Message - From: Ron D'Eau Claire [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:
