Bob, In general I recommend just sticking with the defaults for all AGC menu entries. We worked hard on these :) I'm sure others will have some suggestions for you. 73, Wayne N6KR On Oct 4, 2010, at 6:50 PM, riese-k3...@juno.com wrote: > how bout some gidelines for AGC settings > > Bob K3DJC

Wayne, Thank you for your response. When I first got my radio I tried the F5 and up setting but found they, to me, muffled the audio. That was many revisions ago so I will give them another go. I've found in some instances it's better for me to not use the NR function than to use it and dea

These are my observations first with the K2 and ADSP, the the Flex radios both 1000 and 5000A and then finally and more recently the FT-2000 series of radios. You may take this for what it is worth This matter is highly subjective. One must remember that of the modes avail

Hi Jim, My experience is only with CW. If the band is just noisy and the signals are strong, turning on the NR results in more pleasing listening. But if the signals are generally weak like they might be on 10 or 15 meters, turning on the NR usually impairs readability at any setting. I have bett

Dale, I'll forward this to our DSP engineer, Lyle (KK7P). He's currently on vacation but will be able to respond to your comments when he returns. I do know that he worked very hard to equalize the NR on/off volume levels, and that in general, users have been very positive about the K3's no

Wayne, I am going to disagree - I think its a real issue, and an area for K3 improvement. While I have not been to Jim's shack to hear what he is hearing, it sounds like what I have always observed, at least for SSB reception. Engaging the NR significantly reduces the overall audio level.

Jim, Some drop in apparent volume level is typical with NR. Part of the drop is due to the removal of noise. Part of it may be a psychoacoustic effect (sorry, I'm not an expert on this). You might also try setting F5-1. Settings from F5-x to F8-x use a different algorithm. 73, Wayne N6KR

2010-10-04 Thread Jim Harris
Hi, I've noticed recently that when I press NR the volume level drops what could be called a considerable amount. I normally use NR setting of F-1-1 or -2. More than that tends to almost mute the receiver. I find that the volume control needs to be increased about 70 degrees or so to give t
