[Elecraft] KX3 NR
I just go a KX3 and love it. The first couple of days I played with various knobs and buttons I found that I could change the NR settings with the knob above the button. I lost that ability when I loaded the latest beta firmware. I inquired at Elecraft how I could restore the ability to change the NR settings and was told that that feature had not yet been implemented. Has anyone with a recent KX3 purchase had the same experience? Thank you.

[Elecraft] [KX3] NR setting
.. On page 13 of the KX3 manual, we can read this: Holding NR turns on noise reduction and displays its setting, which can be adjusted using the knob above the switch. Tap any switch to exit the setting display. I have installed the NR but cannot adjust its setting using the control knob above the switch. Am I missing something?

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 NR
NR settings have never been adjustable. But we do hope to add that feature in a future release. For now, to adjust the NR parameters you must use the RX NR menu entry. Search the KX3 firmware release notes for "RX NR" for details. You may have been changing the MONitor, AF gain, or RF gain settings. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jan 21, 2013, at 3:51 PM, kis...@me.com wrote: I just go a KX3 and love it.

Of course they're adjustable in the RX NR menu entry.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 NR
We have that function right now. The Owner's manual is incorrect.

Right you are, John. I'll issue a new errata sheet to cover the current situation. tnx Wayne N6KR On Jan 22, 2013, at 3:44 PM, K3WWP wrote: The KX3 Owner's Manual (Rev.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 NR
Thanks Wayne and Don for your responses. My next question. When I go to RX NR at the top of the screen I see anywhere from "0" to "250". Do they have a meaning or are they there just for ref? Anyway it does a great job for me.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 NR
Hi Geo, Here are the firmware notes regarding NR adjustment, which I'll also be including in the new errata sheet. 73, Wayne N6KR * * * * NOISE REDUCTION (NR) ADDED: Receive noise reduction reduces the amplitude of random noise while preserving desired signals. (RX NR is different from the VFO NR menu setting, which can be used to reduce VFO tuning noise on the higher bands.) NR works in CW, SSB, and AM modes. NR has a characteristic “hollow” sound. To turn NR on/off, hold the NR switch. Also see RX NR x menu entry, below. Note: NR is not available when AGC is turned off. * RX NR x MENU ENTRY ADDED: Allows the user to customize receive noise reduction (NR). The letter appearing at ‘x’ in the menu entry name shows which parameter is being adjusted: B (beta; tap ‘1’), D (decay; tap ‘2’), or M (wet/dry mix; tap ‘3’). The defaults are recommended, and this menu entry is locked to prevent accidental changes. The NR settings for CW are separate from those for voice modes. Using the RX NR menu entry: Unlock the parameter by holding KHZ for about 3 seconds; the VFO A lock icon will disappear. Then tap ‘1’, ‘2’, or ‘3’ to select a parameter to change. You can turn NR on/off while in the menu to test its effectiveness. The default beta is 5 for CW and 10 for voice modes. A lower beta will further reduce noise, but may attenuate weak signals. The default decay is 240. A much lower decay value will allow NR to track fading signals better, at the expense of somewhat worse noise rejection. The mix value determines how much of the signal is “dry” (unprocessed) vs. “wet” (processed). The default is 220 in CW mode and 250 in voice modes —essentially “all wet”. You might want to use a lower mix number to reduce the “hollow” sound or to minimize the effect of NR on weak signals. * * * On Jan 23, 2013, at 8:55 AM, w2b...@aol.com wrote: Thanks Wayne and Don for your responses.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] NR setting
Hello Pierre, If I recall correctly, the NR function was implemented in a later version of the firmware. The user manual errata document from April noted some features that weren't yet implemented. However, I think you will find NR works now in the current firmware version. Upgrading is very quick and easy. Also, documents and firmware revision notes are available on the Elecraft web site. If I am incorrect in any of the above, or if you have additional problems or questions, I'm sure other folks here will get you going!

[Elecraft] [KX3] NR feature when switching VFO A & VFO B with different mode set
Hi folks, I'm running latest KX3 beta firmware 2.12 / DSP 1.3. If I set VFO A as LSB mode and VFO B as FM mode by example. and after if I enable the NR (noise reduction) on VFO A... and then switch to VFO B, that is indeed set in FM, makes the NR to be disable automatically. Then switching back to VFO A, that was previously set in LSB mode, ... BUT... the NR do NOT come enable like it was also previously set So it must be re-enable on VFO A. So my guess is when using a mode that do not support, NR feature by example, it will prevent the KX3 to switchback to this state when changing to another VFO that could use the feature and that was previously set. Could somebody check this if I missed something or not ??
