Is NR effective on ssb?
Locked
 
|
Folks,
I wonder if anyone has an A-B comparison audio recording that shows a SSB signal that is UNINTELLIGIBLE with NR off become INTELLIGIBLE with NR on? (Note NR, not NB which is a different animal altogether.) Maybe it is my ultra-high-noise urban environment, but I have not found any combination of settings of NR, RF gain, AGC, etc., etc. that lets me copy a SSB signal that I can't already copy without NR. And I use the good Yamaha headphones that have been discussed on the reflector. My theory is that S8 noise flummoxes the NR algorithm so much that it actually becomes a hindrance. Maybe it can't really distinguish high noise from voice. This is not to criticize Lyle or the K3. I imagine that these algorithms have their limits no matter what radio they are run on. 73, Oliver Johns W6ODJ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Hi Oliver If you like experimenting try this product. I have been using it on the low bands for a while now, and I am very impressed. I have not found a radio with an inbuilt DSP that will beat it. http://www.ing-michels.de/hamradio.html John --- On Mon, 2/15/10, O. Johns <[hidden email]> wrote: > From: O.

Hi John,
Yes, seems impressive. Uses a the envelope shape of the speech waveform to distinguish it from noise. The examples, however, do not meet the test I asked about: Is something UNINTELLIGIBLE without the device and then INTELLIGIBLE with it? Also, it is a bit pricey at some $300 to $400. Otherwise, I might be tempted to try it. Many thanks for the tip. I'll keep my eye on that product.

After hearing the three MP3 samples of noise reduction in that web page I can tell I was not impressed,actually my K3 can wipe out those noises better than that "LINGUA" product,I was expecting a better performance but I don't think I would spend over $200 US in that small box when I can do the same or even better with my K3 NR,there are sometimes that the same kind of noise I heard there,disapear completely after playing with the different NR setings,I am very pleased with the performance of my K3 NR,it really works !!

Hi Werner,
"Eine Halbinsel ist eine Insel, die noch nicht ganz fertig ist," has an immediate, personal meaning here in San Francisco. Hi Hi -- Oops. I may look for the ssb noise reducer in the used lists. Too expensive for me to buy the "12" model new. 73, Oliver W6ODJ On 16 Feb 2010, at 10:31 AM, Dr. Werner Furlan wrote: > hi all, > > juergen schrieb am 15 Feb 2010 um 15:32: > >> If you like experimenting try this product.

Hi John - that product performs very similarly to the GAP ANEM at a much
lower price. The technology is the same. In fact, the GAP ANEM performs significantly better than many other IF based DSPs including the one in the K3. I somewhat regret having sold the ANEM now, but with Lyle's modifications to the firmware, K3 DSP performance is getting a little better, but still quite far in terms of what I consider ideal. The downside to the ANEM and many other AF based units is that it will not work properly with CW. The algorithms used in the ANEM are only effective at isolating speech waveforms from noise signals. The link to the ANEM is here: http://www.gapantenna.com/hearit_nem.htm BTW, the GAP product is the same thing to the BHI units; just rebranded for sale in the US. 73 de James K2QI *Disclaimer: I don't work for GAP or BHI, but do know a good product when I see/hear it. This is a good product. On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 6:32 PM, juergen <[hidden email]> wrote: > > Hi Oliver > > If you like experimenting try this product.

David,
This is exactly how I would describe all the audio A-B examples I've seen/heard posted on the web, including Hector's and the ones with the LINGUA audio processor posted by Juergen. <http://www.ing-michels.de/audio_demonstrations.html> Maybe that is all we can ask. Oftentimes, when I'm tired and the band is disappointing, the noise begins to sound TO ME like speech. If a human can't tell the difference reliably, how can we expect a DSP to do so? For me, in my very high noise environment, even with the RF gain backed off, the noise interacts with the NR to give a hollow ringing cavern effect with the voices at the very back of the cavern. Unless the ssb signal is pretty strong in the first place, the NR does not improve my experience. But I'd still like to learn how to do it. If someone in a similar high-noise environment has found the magic settings, please post them for the rest of us to try. 73, Oliver W6ODJ On 16 Feb 2010, at 2:13 PM, David Woolley wrote: > Research by the hearing aid industry suggests that noise reduction > reduces listener fatigue but does not increase speech intelligibility. > > O.

I put the BHI DSP unit in the FT-817, and was amazed at how well it worked. It is the best audio dsp I have heard. As mentioned, it isn't great for CW, but somewhat usable on the lowest strength.
I haven't had much of a chance to really try the K3 NR on SSB, but NR hasn't really pulled any signals out of the mud in my experience, but makes them a lot easier to listen to. <<<<<<< BTW, the GAP product is the same thing to the BHI units; just rebranded for sale in the US. 73 de James K2QI >>>>>>>> |

Hi Oliver,
i think there is a big misunderstanding how NR works. NR is not able to conjure a voice out of the dark. If a signal is not readable without NR, you won`t have luck with NR enabled. It only makes it more comfortable to listen to. 73 Michael |

Hector -- THANKS for sharing your settings. In particular the NR F5-3
for SSB. It's a sweet spot! It makes a weak signal more comfortable to listen to (no, not a miracle) while stronger signals are not so distorted or harsh. I had overlooked this particular setting in my frustration with NR -- too many choices. Now I'll use it regularly.

Ok Windy,I am glad to help you out,now you understand why I keep saying the K3 NR works great,there is no need to spend in anything external,its just a matter of playing with the settings,I always use the F5-3 for SSB,take care,bye

It makes a weak signal more comfortable to listen to (no, not a miracle) while stronger signals are not so distorted or harsh. I had overlooked this particular setting in my frustration with NR -- too many choices. Now I'll use it regularly.
