Thanks Guy
Yes the latter was what I was wondering too - and even if you could use the
2nd RX to determine the metrics for the DSP in the main RX. For example,
centre the sub RX on the unwanted signal, or use a wide filter on the sub RX
to get sample the splatter. Model this to generate an

Hi, Elliot.
The K3 Utility turns AutoInfo to none when it needs to, and my intent is
to restore it whenever this is done.

If you plugged your headset into the Speaker jack instead of Phones on the
back panel it will mute the internal speaker. The 2 are side by side.

there seems to me little need for this, however, I would

K1-4 (40m, 30m, 20m, 15m) with backlight option and finger dimplein like

KX1 (40m, 20M)..in like new condition...will ship for $315.

Lyle speaks the truth!
Also, dont forget that handy little knob labled RF GAIN!
I find that, in combination with the HI setting in the AF

new DSP parameters since the release of V3r25, amazing
things can be dug out from 200hz above

4 bars of ALC
Hi Everyone,
After reading literally dozens of postings on the 'problems' with NR in
Beta 3.27, I have seen only 2 responses about NR in Beta 3.30 since its
release.
Not being one to jump into beta versions too fast myself, I ask:
1. How's the new NR doing in 3.30
2. Is the extended bass
Doug,
Do not use the power output as an indication for mic drive on data modes
(PSK31 for example).
The proper indicator is the ALC bargraph - adjust the audio input for
4 bars with an occasional flicker of the 5th bar.
At that level, it is not an indication of ALC action nor compression.

Wes,
The capability operates within limits - it cannot be infinite.
However, the K3 (K2 as well) uses a control loop for power output
control. It senses the output power and adjusts the RF drive to
compensate for differences in the power requested and the actual.
In SSB (and data modes) it
The NR is quite great... There are lots of choices to choose from. I
was quite impressed with it. Found some choices in the top 16 that I
really liked for SSB. Found some in the bottom 16 that I loved for CW.
Color me happy. Granted its a lot of choices but I dig choice.
The low frequency
Very cool. After a few CQs VK2VFV returned my call. This is the first
time I've tried PSK31 with the K3 and the first time in maybe 5 years
I've been on PSK31. After getting some good guidance, the K3 is
actually very easy to hookup and use on digital modes. Considering the
poor band
Jump in Dave. It just takes a few minutes to go back to the old version.
NR has plenty of choices. For CW I found the usual F1-2 or so is fine.
NoNo bass yet for some reason. I keep wondering why it's so hard to get
those low notes!

It appears to have something for almost everybody but it still
takes a couple of seconds to kick in. And if the signal goes away (on

Hi there, I'm wondering if I could find someone that's currently using
the KDVR3 with N1MM - I have a few questions I'd like to bounce off

the integration with N1MM and what are the known issues (if any)?
Thanks,
