HI Jim, Would be so kind as to share your settings that give you a sweet spot and what is the nature of the noise that drove you to that setting.
Thanks in advance.

I will post my observations herewith. It took a bit of work to find the "sweet spot" setting for my noise environment. Once found, it has proven to be quite satisfactory. Having worked with a number of SDR type of radios (Flex, Yaesu, and now K3 and for that matter K2) I can say that, in my opinion, the K3 is as good as it gets. I sense a number of users may not be entirely familiar with noise reduction as it pertains to a software defined radio. In some cases, it seems one is trying to use noise reduction where one should be using noise blanking, a common mistake in attempting to reduce impulse noise from power lines. Another common mistake would be to solicit the settings from another user in a different noise environment. One resource I found to be of benefit to me in helping me to understand the "processes" of DSP is "The Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing" by Steven W. Smith. It is a free download from http://www.dspguide.com. 73s, Jim, W4ATK ______________________________________________________________ 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 ______________________________________________________________ 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
