Re: [Elecraft] K3 NR needs improvement - audio artifact

2013-09-07 Thread Frank Oppedijk
Hi, I also use NR on CW and agree it gives a nice reduction of background noise, but also notice a very annoying issue: Intermittently, there is a click in the headphones output signal. It happens whenever I have NR switched on (even on a mild setting, like F1-2). It most often occurs just

Yes, The NR needs improvement (at least on SSB) and the notch should be inside the AGC loop. It has been said so many times before. I know there are people who use the K3/IF - softrock/lp-pan - comuterSDR-software combo in same cases instead of the K3 SDR. H, The NB's (DSP and hardware)

Eric - What NR settings are you using on CW? I can't get rid of the background white noise with the K3 NR like I can with my Orion NR. I wish I could! My K3 is never 'silent' with NR turned on. 73 de K1ESE John __ Elecraft

John, I have adjusted my Rx EQ to attenuate the higher freqs. Also, I usually have the RF Gain and preamp set so that noise floor is just audible. My Preamp is almost always off. With AF Gain at 12 o'clock and RF Gain at 3 o'clock, engaging NR at the 1-2 setting is VERY quiet. (This probably

Amazing stuff. Must be my ears but I have not found a case where the NR did not work as expected. Compared to an Icom I had here the only way I found it worked great was when in attenuated the weak signals so much they were not heard of again. But then again, nobody answered my calls either so I

I'm a CW op, I'm baffled by the comments critical of the K3 NR, APF and notch filter. The NR generally removes ALL random noise, meaning that the rcvr is silent in the absence of signals. Admittedly, It does get a little upset in the presence of many strong signals, so I usually turn it

I agree with the posts that would like the K3 NR to be improved. I've used 3 different K3's at several different QTH's, using all of the available settings, and the NR seldom helped. That said, I've found the NR on some other radios to work very well, so it can be done. 73, Dick- K9OM
