I too would like to see what settings are being used for NR as I seem to get a
large decrease in Audio volume when NR is engaged.
I hope those having success with the new NR can enlighten the rest of us...:-)

I was interested to read in the discussion about the ADAT transceiver that it
used adaptive predistortion to improve the linearity of the TX. As the K3 is
also an SDT could this be a future enhancement?

The K2 NB works very well with light-dimmer noise. If you have a
light-dimmer to test it the results should be dramatic.

I cannot fully answer your questions right now, BUT I must give you a
caution. The K2 AUX IO connector is *not* an RS-232 port - that is why
it is labeled AUX IO.
To avoid damage to your K2, use ONLY the cable shown in the KIO2 manual
to connect your K2 to the Rigblaster Pro.

I'm still playing with the 3.27 NR, but I like it alot. I operate CW
only and have been using the F1-x filter section mostly because it
seems that F2 through F4 are minor variations on the F1 theme, so to
speak; but I will try them later. With CW signals of course there is
not as much subtlety
I'm hopeful it will be in kit form. If it costs more than an SDR-IQ, I will
have second thoughts about getting one,

A lot of people (including me) have noticed and pointed out K3's initial

Option 1 - Those who would like a little extra low end audio frequency

those would like to be able to transmit AM/FM and ESSB through their wide

Option 2 - Those that would prefer

I'd purchase a pair of P3 blank cases for speakers.

I just checked. The current .zip in the beta directory has 2.25. We made
a minor change in DSP 2.25 to fix a rare case of DSP instability in NR
when AGC was cycled off and on.

Hello List and Robin,
Robin asked for some of my settings that I use on my K3 regarding the

post them here.
These are answers to Robins questions, so keep this in mind.
AND...I use my K3 almost 100% as an IF for VHF Bands,
Yeah, I agree with what you are saying. I like the NB on CW, but on SSB
even at F1-1 it sounds somewhat like being in a tunnel. I would like to see
a NB setting that is less aggressive and that doesn't change the audio as
much.
Also it would be nice if the audio didn't reduce in volume when
but still have some on the top. I'm trying to salvage the IC (product
detector) so am begging for advice on how to successfully free up the
solder from the top of the board. This is an 8 pin DIP.
You run the risk of damaging PCB pads if you try to extract it all at once.
It might be worth
Thanks to all that replied on and off list. I've tried a wick and the RS
solder sucker and have the bottom clean and clear but there is still
just a bit but enough solder on the top of the board to hold the IC in
place. Think I'll go the safe route and order a replacement from
Elecraft and

Good decision.
Just think of it this way - even if it costs $25 to $30 to order one (or

others, that is a small price compared to the price of a board and the
rest of the components that are mounted on it. In this

Did you mean NR when you stated NB? I find no audio reduction when
turning on the NB unless I have the IF NB cranked up to maximum.
I first thought the new NR was reducing the audio, but I found it was
not so when one is tuned to a signal. The noise reduction is so
effective that in my

Just finished my KX1. Unfortunately, it won't produce any output on

I agree with N6MQL, after working with 3.27 awhile now, 3.25 made CW better.
I only have the 250Hz filter, and it doesn't do as well with NR as wide
settings... and the wide filter setting makes the NR shine. It may even work
better than 3.25 NR narrow overall, I don't know.
My constant
Doug,
Except for the voltages on Q4, the DC voltages look OK. Check R9 and
R26. The voltage at both ends of R26 should be near 6 volts.
Did you put the jumper between J7 pins 1 and 3?

tinned lead showing on the toroid side
