I have not used my K3 for CW, so I have no experience with it. So, a
couple of days ago I decided to give it a try, after all - winter is
coming.
When I switched to CW mode - things got deathly quiet. Quiet as in all
the background noise vanished - along with most of the signals. I could
see them unchanged on the P3 - but, had to turn up the audio gain to
hear them. With the audio gain up, I could hear everything that my other
rigs were hearing - except no background noise. Compared to my past
experience - this is not normal.
I am using a K3 set up for SSB and only having the 2.7. 2.1, and 6 kc
filters. Some ACG changes have been made to afford improved arm chair
copy on 75 and 40 meters.
My question: Have I been missing out on using the quietest CW rig ever
made or is there something wrong with my receiver? It just seems too quiet.
Thanks,
Bill W2BLC K-Line
