Re: [Elecraft] Help me! Kpa100 broked during lightning

Sounds like the RS-232 chip in the amp may be fried, especially if the PC com port it was connected to fried. I’ve seen this in the public safety world. Lightning hit our phone lines coming into a PC at the site and took out every com port (multi port). Also com port on all equipment attached

That’s the one. The problem is the WECC map does not have many geographic references. Just distribution stations and converter stations. The other line you referenced is 345 KV according to the WECC map. It Sierra Pacific power. Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 16, 2019, at 13:58, Fred Jensen

Re: [Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings

When it comes to eliminating extraneous noise, I have always found the K3 to be very lacking of any super powers. Mostly, the results were about the same as any other rig out there. Kind of OK for ignition noise - using the NB. Of course the NB can screw with the bandwidth of the receiver and

Re: [Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings

Looking at the MECC map, I’m pretty sure the 500 KV line is +- 500 KV DC so that would by itself make it pretty quiet. Sent from my iPad > On Jun 15, 2019, at 7:34 PM, Fred Jensen wrote: > > I have never found a noise blanker to be of particular value, if any at all, > on general power line

I have never found a noise blanker to be of particular value, if any at all, on general power line hash [the "grass" along the baseline of a panadapter.  At our prior home in Auburn CA, I had a 3-phase ~70 KV transmission line on  running across the lower end of the property that connected a

Re: [Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings

Thanks for the mention of the Collins document.  I had not seen it and after a search and finding it, I was amazed at how much of it was similar to what I established independently. If you happen to look at the bottom of my QRZ bio you can see the mobile rig belonging to a boyhood neighbor. 

Re: [Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings

David et al; My statement is almost word for word from the Elecraft K3 manual.   And some from work done by Art Collins and company at Collins Radio.  They prescribed the function of a Noise Blanker as follows: "The following operational requirements were kept in mind: 1. Reduction of

Re: [Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings

It may be better said that a Noise Blanker responds best to impulses with a fast rise time like ignition noise from a gasoline engine. It does not have to be repetitive (but often is). 73, Don W3FPR On 6/14/2019 2:05 PM, Wes wrote:  I have one little nit to pick with this.  In a properly

Re: [Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings

 I have one little nit to pick with this.  In a properly designed blanker, there is no requirement that the noise be repetitive; blanking should occur on a single pulse or on random pulses.  Blanking becomes ineffective when 1) an undesired signal appears in the detection bandwidth that exceeds

Re: [Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings

For weak CW signals try NR= mF5-3 with IF BW= 700-1000 Hz and APF on. The mF#-# settings mix unprocessed signal with the NR processed results. the second # sets how much. The wider IF bandwidth lets the NR work optimally on random, uncorrelated noise while the APF pops the desired signal

Re: [Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings

The below statement surprised me. That is not how noise blanking normally works; normally it will suppress any wide band pulse. The typical arrangement uses a high bandwidth, low delay, path, to detect the pulse. It can then mute the signal path by the time the pulse gets through the

Re: [Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings

My fav NR setting is F1-4. In addition to Bobs excellent explanation about noise levels and sensitivity, also consider adapting the AGC settings.  Don's article about AGC is  very helpful: http://www.w3fpr.com/K3_AGC.htm In some situations I even turn AGC off. gd dx! Gernot DF5RF

Re: [Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings

The Noise Blanker only affects repetitive pulse noise such as ignition type noise.  Lightning and atmospheric is random noise. As to the Noise Reduction, I find that use of the Attenuation and RF Gain control is far superior to using DSP systems.  Also remember it is Noise Reduction and not

Re: [Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings

This is not an easy thing. First, are you hearing general band noise, a constant “ s” or pulses as in lightning, power line, or ignition type noise. For band noise, the NR will be your best solution. Experiment, but don’t go too deep. Deep settings will distort and make it sound

Re: [Elecraft] Help with IF Noise, DSP Noise, NR settings

Going from a TenTec Orion to the K3 the only disappointing thing to me was the difficulty in using the NB and NR and DSP. I finally just gave up. If I can hear it I work it. If I don’t I don’t. W5SUM Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 13, 2019, at 5:04 AM, KC6CNN wrote: > > Hello Everyone. > I

Agreed. I've have the external ref module which actually measures the TCXO frequency and on my K3 the drift is pretty close to over after 60 minutes. I've tracked it all the way to four hours. It is useful to keep an eye on the front panel temp (DISP - FP). The TXCO is located in close order
