[Elecraft] K3 Noise reduction question

2014-08-31 Thread Gene
When holding in the NR button to adjust noise reduction, I get F1-1,2,3,4 then F2-1,2,3,4 etc for F3 and F4. Going further this is repeated for NRmF5, F6, F7 and F8. Can someone direct me to where in the K3 manual it explains what these settings mean and/or when to use NR or NRm? Thanks.

I operate mainly CW and while the NB is very effective for me on CW, I've never seen much advantage to the NR at narrow CW bandwidths. I had occasion to be on SSB this week attempting to work several SOTA summit activations, and tried the NR. At the wider SSB BW, it made a great difference.

Hi, Have you tried the NB (*not* NR)? I find it very effective against power line noise. I use the setting t2-6, IF off. For a long time I was using a combination of DSP and IF setting, but found that the IF contribution was little or non-existing, so I switched to DSP NB only. AB2TC - Knut

Fred, Perhaps an explanation of how NR works will help you understand what you are hearing a bit better. The NR algorithm looks for some sequence that it can define as a signal, and then builds a filter around it. The type of filter is determined by the parameters you have set. That is why

I have some tinnitus (sp?) so, when things are really, really quiet, I hear things that really aren't there! Aside from that, a recent hearing test indicated my hearing was normal for my age (67) and I hear equally well (or equally poor!) with both ears. My experience with the NR has been

I also note the hollow sound to SSB when using the K3 NR. If I use it at all, it's at the lowest setting, 1-1. I had the same listening experience with the K2 DSP NR unit. It worked well on CW - sometimes miraculous - but for my ears, useless on SSB. The K3 NB works on all modes, every time. I

Hi Fred, From where I sit, if the NR display has a little m between NR and F, those are methods best on voice (F5-1 through F8-4), while without the little m (F1-1 through F4-4) are methods better with CW. That is not an absolute rule of course and many people have preferences which don't abide

Hello, When I hold NR button to adjust noise reduction, I get levels F1, 1 to 4, then F2 1 to 4, up to F4. Clearly, 1 is least, 4 is most, but what do the F's represent? (Can't find any reference to this on page 24 of the manual.) I wondered if F refers to filter, if so then why not 5? Thanks
