Re: [Elecraft] MCU 4.51

Took the FW4.51 for a spin at PI4D in the CQ-M on 20m in SSB and CW yesterday afternoon. AGC THR on 12, SLP on 10. Smooth operation, NB performed OK for the key clicks from a nearby freq. (NB is DSP 2-3 and IF MED3) Was it better than FW4.48? Not sure, but I like it that the threshold can be

Re: [Elecraft] MCU 4.51

When I had two stations of the same strength on exact the same freq it was still hard copy to pick only one out. No hardware, no firmware, no nothing will ever solve this ... zero beat is zero beat. ;-)) Vy 73, Olli - DH8BQA http://www.dh8bqa.de/

Re: [Elecraft] MCU 4.51

For taking care of key clicks, NB LEVEL set to DSP t1-7 or t2-7 and IF *OFF* is best. I got excellent results with the milder t1-7 in 4.51. IF ON is traditional IF blanking with all the traditional artifacts. Kept on the K3 because it's still best for some kinds of noise. Traditional IF

Guys, Smith charts are great once one has made it up the steep learning curve. A alternative simple approach for common needs is the TLW program. The TLW program which came with the ARRL Antenna Handbook on CD computes: 1) Load complex impedance given the shack end coax type and cable type

Guy, Well, both NBs create artifacts if pushed to hard. I have not encountered any problems when using this config (DSP x-3 and IF med-3). If I run any of the two NBs on x-7 it really becomes bad. But your advice inspires me to experiment again. 73 Arie PA3A Op 13-5-2012 15:16, Guy

I found on what I was listening to, that turning off the IF blanking cleaned it up and t1-7 or t2-7 was incredible for key clicks. The other thing was that I always carefully minimize signal input on lower bands with ATT/ /PRE/RFgain at only high enough to bring up band noise to moderate in the
