Beta 3.30 So How does it work?

Hi Everyone,

After reading literally dozens of postings on the 'problems' with NR in
Beta 3.27, I have seen only 2 responses about NR in Beta 3.30 since its
release.

Not being one to jump into beta versions too fast myself, I ask:

1. How's the new NR doing in 3.30
2. Is the extended bass response from 3.25 back again as was indicated
that it would be?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Re: Beta 3.30 So How does it work?

The NR is quite great... There are lots of choices to choose from. I
was quite impressed with it. Found some choices in the top 16 that I
really liked for SSB. Found some in the bottom 16 that I loved for CW.
Color me happy. Granted its a lot of choices but I dig choice.

The low frequency response that I loved so much in 3.25 has yet to
return in 3.30. But we have been told that it will come back at some
point in time. Here's hoping its soon.

Jump in Dave. It just takes a few minutes to go back to the old version.
NR has plenty of choices. For CW I found the usual F1-2 or so is fine.
No....No bass yet for some reason. I keep wondering why it's so hard to get
those low notes!

It appears to have something for almost everybody .... but it still
takes a couple of seconds to kick in. And if the signal goes away (on
CW - don't know about SSB) it changes. Then the signal comes back and
it changes. At least it did the couple times I tried it.

Personally I like the good old NR from the "other JA radio". You hit
the NR button and it makes the CW signal that you could barely hear in
the noise readable. That's all I want. Plain and simple. I don't want
to be screwing with knobs and levels and all that when I'm trying to
run, or at least keep rate up. Make it F9-1 - NR for dummies like me!

I am currently checked into the Eastern OK SWOT net at 144.250. KD5ZVE
is in Claremore, OK, 439km from my location in EM12jq. There is a
heavy thunderstorm 30 NM from me between us. With the NR on my K3 set
to F8-1 I am able to copy his USB signal without any trouble at all.

Rig is K3 SN 1055 using the XV144 XVRTR with the preamp in a TE
Systems 1452G amplifier running 350 watts. The antenna is an M2 18XXX
18 element Yagi.

That's how it works...

I am perfectly satisfied with the performance of the New NR additions.

My hat is off to the great Elecraft Team.

PS... I love to be able to communicate with difficult signals. You
know; The ones you can't work without fiddling with knobs and
levels. ;o)
