K#: 2.20 / 1.88
Locked
 
|
Hi Everyone
I just loaded Beta 2.20/1.88. IMO the AGC is now virtually PERFECT. (I was actually expecting to be disappointed with it. Absolutely the opposite.) Running my SLP at 7 and THR at 6. I may run it at SLP 8 and THR 5. I'm not sure yet. The linearity of the new SLP function works very well. My AF is on high range and running at 9 O'clock position. The NR audio level seems much improved and balanced between engaged and not engaged, perhaps even a little too loud with NR engaged. I like it. Elecraft, your radio and your support is amazing. I hope that you are having as much fun in your work as I am in playing with your results. My $.02. I realize that others may not feel the same about Beta 2.20. You should try experimenting with the AGC SLP and THR settings to see how they change how various signals sound from the receiver. 73 de N1LQ-Dave _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Is there an audio gain function for the NR? My audio is
substantially reduced when the NR is engaged. More so if I have an aggressive setting for the NR?

Hate to ask the stupid question but do you have a signal in the passband
when you activate it? If so are you using it on a CW or SSB signal when you notice this level reduction?

In CW mode I see 8db of audio gain with NR engaged. In SSB, a reduction (not
measured). It depends on what is being processed.

That's ok...it's good to check to see if I am nuts or not. hi hi
Yes, listening to SSB on 20m this evening and actually there is not much noise on the band, for a change. Listening to several QSOs and turning the NR on causes a drop in audio...but then again, it always has. I haven't tried it on CW.

Yea ok then.. I found that mine usually resulted in a reduction of audio
but depending on the band and conditions sometimes it was the same and sometimes it was more. I think that this difference in amplitude depending on the conditions and NR settings selected makes matching the level pretty near impossible. But thankfully there is an AF knob that allows me to do so quickly and easily... :) I'll have the K3 back tomorrow and I'll be upgrading to the latest beta... Not sure what is going on this weekend but hopefully it'll be a good chance for me to play...
