Yep, that would be cool, although I'm not sure it's doable. Would likely work if you were switching bands often, but if you don't come back to a band in a reasonable time, the average may be as invalid as REF LVL currently is. I generally take K9YC's advice if it pertains to audio, sometimes

I don't want to save the REF LVL. I want to save its relationship to the noise level. I agree. Put another way, I'd like to see a reverse baseline clamp - something along the line of holding REF LVL 5 dB below the average noise level. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 2015-03-06 7:56 AM, Vic

2015-03-06 Thread Vic Rosenthal 4X6GP/K2VCO
Here is something I would like to see on the P3. The P3 saves the REF LVL setting per band. But of course the noise level on a given band varies as conditions change, and I find myself often adjusting the REF LVL. The optimum setting is with the REF LVL just below the noise level. Setting

Wouldn't that need to be dampened a lot. What happens if there is QRN, you wouldn't want to be pushing the real stuff down. It would NOT be a simple function, and there would be wide variation on what seemed slick. 73, Guy On Fri, Mar 6, 2015 at 10:16 AM, Joe Subich, W4TV li...@subich.com wrote:

I don't want it to try to maintain the level automatically. I want to be able to recall the saved offset with a function button push. That way it is up to me if I want to reset it. On 6 Mar 2015 18:16, Guy Olinger K2AV wrote: Wouldn't that need to be dampened a lot. What happens if there is

Well, what I was thinking was that you could activate the option and adjust the REF LVL with the knob to whatever offset from the noise level that you wanted, and then save that 'offset'. On 6 Mar 2015 17:16, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: I don't want to save the REF LVL. I want to save its
