[Elecraft] K3 noise reduction revisited

2009-07-11 Thread James Sarte
Has there been any progress on improving the NR algorithm used in the K3? As it is, it's only helpful perhaps 2% of the time on SSB with the remaining 98% of it remaining off. I've tried adjusting AGC settings, plus fiddling with the DSP settings and can never seem to find a happy medium. Ad

Lyle is looking at the NR code. Let's rest this thread for now. We'll pop up here when we have something new to try. :-) 73, Eric WA6HHQ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mail

Regarding noise reduction and the BHI products; I've noticed that the BHI ANEM works substantially better than the K3's NR. For whatever reason, whenever I switch NR on, the band noise seems to get attenuated slightly, but then reshaped to resemble noise in a tunnel. It's very tiring to listen to

Hmm, are Lyle's "other irons in the fire" being heated for Eric's "other fish to fry"? :-) More seriously, I also would love to see changes to the noise reduction, particularly to help with weak signal work. I'm not sure why anyone cares about noise reduction for strong signals -- I just turn dow

Trevor, Those Noise Reduction algorithms you refer to seem to be quite clever and effective. They appear to be close to the NR that I have in my hearing aids which does a great job of extracting speech from noise. Unfortunately, the NR in my hearing aids also thinks sustained musical notes ar

As far as I'm aware there are two companies that produce this technology for the amateur market, BHI in the UK and Michels-Engineering in Germany. The german unit is designed specifically for the extraction of the speech waveform when surrounded by noise. BHI is similar but works with cw as w

I have two "Hear-it" speakers from England's BHI company hooked thru my microham controller's headphone outputwhich is connected to the 7800 & the K3. With a low- mid aggressive setting they don't sound anything but quieter. (what a concept)... leave them in line most all the time. No
