I'm not a fan of NR, however since it's back in 4.51, I decided to try it again.
I thought some of the NR settings appeared to be excessive, to the point of eliminating the signal I'm trying to listen to. But then I remembered that finding the best NR setting takes time (it's not instant). Setting NR F4-4 on CW with a relatively strong signal is amazing. At first it seems as if the audio has been turned down completely as the background noise disappears; but when the CW signal comes back, it's nice and crisp and at a good audio level. This is with AGC THR at 16 and SLP at 9. The not so good news: there is a 'thud' heard on CW mode when the AGC THR is increased starting at 15 up to 20, and then from 20 down to 15; regardless of the SLP setting. On SSB it's more of a 'swoosh' sound. This could have something to do with the receive equalizer as it doesn't occur in TX DATA mode where it is bypassed. Was it there before? 73 de Sebastian, W4AS ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
