TX Gate was first added last September 2008 in MCU 2.45 according to my notes. Config => TX GATE => Tap "1" (A/B) to turn On or Off => use Vfo B to set level. Level can be set in Test mode while listening with headphones to the Monitor.
I use it all the time with my level set to 12 and it works extremely well at eliminating a lot of shack noise from going out over the air. Very useful! 73 -- Don N4HH K3/100 #83 -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Bruce Beford Sent: Sunday, May 24, 2009 10:50 AM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Background noise Jay, I believe you are looking for the Noise Gate function. The latest version of the Owner's Manual has info under Config:TX Gate. Haven't played with it myself, as I have a fairly quit shack.
