[Elecraft] Bengali adventurer mono key with KX3 mount

I have a Bengali Adventurer Mono key in the original box with a mount for the KX3. It is without mars or blemishes. I have used a bit of electronic cable lacing to secure the cable to the key. It can simply be cut and removed. Also included is the 0.3 mm feeler gage and cleaning cloth. The key is

My fav NR setting is F1-4. In addition to Bobs excellent explanation about noise levels and sensitivity, also consider adapting the AGC settings.  Don's article about AGC is  very helpful: http://www.w3fpr.com/K3_AGC.htm In some situations I even turn AGC off. gd dx! Gernot DF5RF

Jim, Can I assume this is a newly purchased kit? Or are you building an older one that has been sitting on someone's shelf for a long time with Rev A boards. A serial number would be helpful - above SN 2999 will use Rev B boards. Given that you have 1.4 volts on the base of the PA

I finished building a basic kit with no options and the power output will not rise above 2 watts and current (2A) is too high for that power. Hi Cur flashes briefly before power output settles at 2 watts. Voltage checks found the PA base bias circuit putting out 1.4 VDC but 0.8 V is expected.

The Noise Blanker only affects repetitive pulse noise such as ignition type noise.  Lightning and atmospheric is random noise. As to the Noise Reduction, I find that use of the Attenuation and RF Gain control is far superior to using DSP systems.  Also remember it is Noise Reduction and not

Easy way out of this mess, if a little expensive... A big PSU dedicated to the rig(s), implementing "Remote Sensing" so at a distribution point close to the radio(s) the DC voltage is held constant, irrespective of the cable length from the PSU. This power supply should have a proper overload

This is not an easy thing. First, are you hearing general band noise, a constant “ s” or pulses as in lightning, power line, or ignition type noise. For band noise, the NR will be your best solution. Experiment, but don’t go too deep. Deep settings will distort and make it sound
