Thanks Jim. I used the Kenwood TS-480 when the rig was in the shop, and the audio was better, fewer pops and hiss, and the Noise Reduction was noticeably better on the Kenwood 480.

Hi Jim, I also do a lot of digging for weak signals, but I rarely go narrower than 200 Hz because I find the filter ringing on noise takes over. Yes, I'm using the optimal setting to minimize ringing. If you're hearing the popping and others are not, perhaps you're using more AF gain and less RF gain than they are. If so, I suggest adjusting that ratio in the direction of less AF gain and see if you can reach a happy compromise. As an OT CW op, I do recognize the virtue of not using excessive RF gain. And maybe Wayne can do something about the switching transient in a future firmware firmware release. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to jbol...@outlook.com ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
