Re: [Elecraft] K3 and phasing noise cancelling systems

Thank to all for the replies! After talking with the tech at DXE it appears the problems involved in removing my QRM with something like the NCC-1 are iffy at best. After numerous failed attempts at using different Rx antennas, my best chance to reduce the noise to better levels appears to

I have a NCC-1, and it works well. My antennas are a vertical-firing cubical quad for 75 meters (NVIS antenna) and a low 80-meter dipole (noise sense antenna). I do not have a steerable array. Keep in mind that the noise cancelling unit will null out noise from ONE direction only. If you

A couple of years ago I proposed that Elecraft modify the firmware in the K3 to allow the phase of the local oscillator in either the main receiver or the subreceiver to be adjusted in some way (possibly by using a couple of front panel buttons to be used as increment/decrement controls).
