Has there been any progress on improving the NR algorithm used in the K3? A lot of effort is going into this at the moment and we hope to something ready soon. 73, Lyle kK7P __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

2009-07-11 Thread James Sarte
Has there been any progress on improving the NR algorithm used in the K3? As it is, it's only helpful perhaps 2% of the time on SSB with the remaining 98% of it remaining off. I've tried adjusting AGC settings, plus fiddling with the DSP settings and can never seem to find a happy medium.

Hmm, are Lyle's other irons in the fire being heated for Eric's other fish to fry? :-) More seriously, I also would love to see changes to the noise reduction, particularly to help with weak signal work. I'm not sure why anyone cares about noise reduction for strong signals -- I just turn down

Regarding noise reduction and the BHI products; I've noticed that the BHI ANEM works substantially better than the K3's NR. For whatever reason, whenever I switch NR on, the band noise seems to get attenuated slightly, but then reshaped to resemble noise in a tunnel. It's very tiring to listen

As far as I'm aware there are two companies that produce this technology for the amateur market, BHI in the UK and Michels-Engineering in Germany. The german unit is designed specifically for the extraction of the speech waveform when surrounded by noise. BHI is similar but works with cw as
