James, I concur. There is a noticeable drop in 'audio level' when I activate NR and it does not depend on the settings from what I can tell. I would hope this does creep up the list quite a bit as I feel it has been left as a dormant issue long enough. Gary On Wed, Dec 1, 2010 at 2:13 AM,

Hello Group, I went ahead and ordered another BHI ANEM module, but I still have high hopes that the K3's NR performance will improve. I believe one of the biggest issues is related to audio fidelity when the NR is activated. I find myself having to turn up the AF gain in order to compensate for

Psycho-acoustics is fun! Some people swear by the K3 NR, others swear at it :-) Making further changes to the K3 NR remains a possibility, but is not a particularly high priority at the moment. Priorities can and do change... 73, Lyle KK7P I hope Lyle will read this and perhaps be able to

Hi Lyle! Indeed, this is a very subjective issue. One issue though that many will probably agree with me on is the decrease in audio fidelity whenever NR is engaged; i.e. volume of speech drops in relation to NR. Would it be possible to alter the algorithm to prevent this from happening? It

Hello James, I use a BHI ANEM Mk II with my K2, and get similar results. My K2 does not have the Noise Blanker installed nor the DSP, one reason being that man-made noise at this quiet rural location was never a problem. But, about two years ago some new neighbours arrived armed with some

This is a good example of just how subjective improvement can be. Sure, the hash is gone, but it's replaced by the underwater warbling sound so common with highly processed audio. Personally, I find that warbling variation in the audio far less pleasant than the noise. Ron AC7AC

I'm still getting my sea legs on the K3 but NR seems to work really great on CW but on SSB, I can't use it. With it on, regardless of setting, it makes the channel sound watery (for lack of a better term). I have two K3s, and both sound alike on phone with NR invoked. Maybe I don't have them

Hi James, I'd have to say that your post and the links to what you consider improvement firmly make the case for how subjective this is. Some folks simply cannot stand to listen to the warbling effect caused by the NR algorithm moving around the center of the passband to match the speech centers
