Re: [Elecraft] K3 NR triggering

Just to reiterate my earlier posting, the next beta release of the K3 mcu/dsp code will have -BOTH- NR methods available. (Those from 3.25 and 3.27. ) You really -can- have it your way. :-) You will be able to scan though the same 16 3.27 settings as now, followed by the set of 16 3.25 style

Eric, No No no, I have been grossly misinterpreted. I never asked for a combination of 3.25 and 3.27. BOTH of these NR's are far from aggressive enough for my type of Noise floor and Narrow band CW work. Furthermore they take WAY too long to build the filters. What I was asking for was

I may have misspoken. Re-reading my emails with Wayne and Lyle indicates the 'old' NR included in the next release (in addition to the current NR method) will be that of DSP 2.22, which I think is what you are referring to. :-) 73, Eric The Smiths wrote: Eric, No No no, I have been

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

Hi Steve I also seem to get the impression that the selected NR setting is not exacty the same as the selected level within in the menu versus turning the DSP NR on and off without entering the menu, if that makes sense. What I am finding is that 2-4 when applied from within the menu,

Thinks likeIf F1-1 doesn't work, do we go to F1-2 or F2-1 or should we skip a few F's. Depends on the noise, the signal, the levels and the nature of the artifacts of NR you best tolerate. F1-x builds sharper filters, while F4-x typically has more attenuation... Should we turn NR off

It's become obvious to me that the most of the full time CW ops on the reflector were very happy with the fast responding, instant changing, very aggressive filters on the Pre 3.25 NR. So long as you didn't choose a filter that was too aggressive for your needs, I never found that I cut

I would like to still see some kind of APF filter to peak up weak cw, I'm still always looking for more volume or gain against the noise floor. For me its hard to compare something from a couple of months ago to what I have now in firmware but for the impressions or notes taken back with other

Joe and all, As I understand the changes, in the pre-3.27 NR situation, there were audio peaks in the response envelope - so it worked very well (similar to an APF) for some who used a CW pitch near the peaks, but there were others who used other sidetone pitches and they were not happy with

I just had a CW QSO on a noisy 80m. Here's what I noticed with NR set for F1-3. BW set for 2.5 kHz. QRN very loud! I pushed NR. Band goes almost totally silent. Calling CQ with the bug was like being in TX mode but I was using QSK as always. Wow...Nice and quiet. Then someone answered my CQ. On
