Other than not reducing bandwidth appropriately, or not knowing there is more than one NR setting, the greatest bar to satisfactory noise reduction in the K3 is running RF gain and preamp/att settings too loud. Band noise needs to be reduced to only moderately loud, or less, first by reducing PRE/ATT settings and then reducing RF gain.
I have begun to wonder about adding a slow responding auto PRE/ATT/RF mode which sensed the levels of noise and auto set the PRE/ATT and several step reductions of RF gain until band noise was properly ranged for processing. At least then one could say to TRY the AUTO PRE/RF option without having to explain the mechanics of doing it manually. Or, perhaps, sinisterly, simply make this happen in the firmware without telling anyone. 73, Guy. ______________________________________________________________ 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
