K3 DNR

N0AZZ
I have been a Yaesu fan for many years and currently have a FTDX-5000MP and
a Quadra amp in essence a 1kw radio in every way from 6-160m. It is an
excellent radio and a great receiver to boot as you all know I'm sure. I
have owned it for  30 months and never had one issue with it was the second
one delivered in the US. Wanting to try something new I decided to buy a K3
what could be wrong with owning the #1 &2 radios on all the tests. Long
story short now I have a loaded K2/100, 2 K3/100's one of them loaded and
the other on the way, a P3/SVGA and will add a second plus a XG3. These
darned Elecrafts are a real pain they should make you have a prescription
from your Doctor before you ever order one and that should have a warning
label about becoming addictive.

 

Rather than going with an Elecraft tuner and amp I decided to go another
direction that gave me a few more options an Alpha amp and a new Alpha 4040
auto tuned soon to be released. In the interim I'm using a Palstar AT-Auto
till the Alpha gets here the last of Sept or Oct. Just finished ordering a
Array Solutions Six Pack SO2R Dual Controller for the K3's and a Bandmaster
with a few extras.

 

 

Being rather new to Elecraft I have only had my K3's for about a month I'm
still searching for a way to continuously adjust the DNR from the very
lowest to the most aggressive with a dial while listing. I'm able to do this
with my FTDX-5000 and find it to be one of my most used features and most
effective I might add with that ability.

 

Is there a way for me to setup a knob to adjust the DNR like that in the K3,
I'm sure there must be and it's just me not finding it, that good of a
feature I'm sure would not be left out.

 

 

Thx to all & 73,

Fred/N0AZZ

Fred,
Others here (none-FT5000) owners may be able to help with your question if
they knew specifically what you were talking about. In the context of your
question regarding the K3, what is "DNR" specifically control on the FT5000?

Being in the medical field, I associate DNR with "do not resuscitate", a
request sometimes made of family members, following a long contest...

Re: K3 DNR

Bruce DRN is the same in the K3 as all other radios Digital Noise Reduction.
Being a radio forum I had no idea someone would not know that.

Re: K3 DNR

In reply to this post by N0AZZ
Thanks, Fred.
I had never heard it refered to as "digital" noise reduction before.
Every manufacturer has their own acronyms for various functions, often
to make them sound somehow "better" than other manufacturer's schemes.
I wasn't sure if perhaps Yaesu was calling something "dynamic noise
reduction", and perhaps how they claimed that worked.
Thanks again for the explaination of the acronym.

My K3 manual and faceplate just label it as NR.  DNR must be a label used by the Yaesu Lawnmower Company.  Almost everything on my K3 is digital and the hospitals wart me continuously about signing a DNR so they can let me die and save money.

Re: K3 DNR

In reply to this post by N0AZZ
My guess is that you are referring to the DSP noise-reduction function.

You adjust this by HOLDING the NR button and then turning the VFO B knob.

Re: K3 DNR

W6NEK
In reply to this post by N0AZZ
Hi Fred,
I agree that the 15 step DNR control on the FT5000 is a very useful and
effective function.  To gain access to the K3 NR settings you need to press
and hold the NR button (NR ADJ).  The settings will appear in the VFO B
portion of the display.  There are a total of 32 noise reduction steps with
the first 16 tailored to CW mode (F1-1 thru F4-4) and the remaining 16
tailored for SSB mode (F5-1 thru F8-4).  While not as convenient as the
variable NR setting on the FT5000, it's just as effective.  You can read all
about it on page 25 of the Operating Manual.

73,
Frank - W6NEK

K3 DNR

So the moral of the story is:   'Why resuscitate a dying 5000 when you could
have a K3?'

Re: K3 DNR

N0AZZ
In reply to this post by W6NEK
Thanks Vic and Frank

I had only been using the CW part I guess stopped to soon that is the reason
for the problem glad that that you answered. It was obvious that most had no
idea of how well the DNR worked on the 5000 and some of it's very good
features. It would be nice at times to bring up other radios in a discussion
and not have some not offended by it because it isn't an Elecraft. The
FT-5000 after all did have the best receiver in the testing done against the
K3 but as I said I do have 2 K3's that should say something, both radios
have their strong and weak points.

As with all reflectors (I belong to several) you must toss out a lot of the
posts as ones that aren't well informed or just plain wrong. They all have
their cheerleaders Yaesu, Elecraft, Icom are a few I subscribe to the
Elecraft is the most active I must admit for sure. That is one thing I like
about Elecraft is the quality of the posts for the most part, keep up the
good work.

Thx & 73,
Fred/N0AZZ

Hi Fred,
I agree that the 15 step DNR control on the FT5000 is a very useful and
effective function.  To gain access to the K3 NR settings you need to press
and hold the NR button (NR ADJ).  The settings will appear in the VFO B
portion of the display.  There are a total of 32 noise reduction steps with
the first 16 tailored to CW mode (F1-1 thru F4-4) and the remaining 16
tailored for SSB mode (F5-1 thru F8-4).  While not as convenient as the
variable NR setting on the FT5000, it's just as effective.  You can read all
about it on page 25 of the Operating Manual.

Re: K3 DNR

W6NEK
In reply to this post by Gary Gregory
Gary,
As I understand it, just a TAP of the NR button will toggle the NR function On and Off.
TAP & HOLD will place the NR into adjustment mode so the NR profile can be changed.
Fred asked: "is there a way to continuously adjust the DNR from the very lowest to the most aggressive with a dial while listing"?
As far as I know NR TAP & HOLD (NR ADJ) is the only way to accomplish what he wants.

Is there an easier way that I missed?

Re: K3 DNR

Gary Gregory
*Frank,

Tap to turn on NR and turn off NR

Whether NR is on or off, a HOLD (1 sec) the NR will bring up adjustment,
variable via VFO B

There is no current facility to change the setting by SAVING it to a PF key
which was the original inquiry.

 I have not had a Yaesu in my shack since I discarded the FTdx9000D and I
thought that enough time had passed that Yaesu would have fixed that issue,
but, apparently not?

I have never found a need to do this as I have had the K3 long enough to
get all my settings right. If a transceiver needs to have this adjusted
continuously during qso's then I sure don't one of those.  :-)

YMMV

Re: K3 DNR

N0AZZ
Gary

It seems you have missed out by several years of Yaesu's by not having a
FTDX-5000MP and have never used the DNR on one for sure. If you had you
would know that it is superior to the K3's in the implementation, use and
effect. As far fixing yes they did and it works so well it could be an
industry standard. You need to try one before you pass judgment on something
you know nothing about. I never said that I used it during a QSO but to dig
one out to begin with was a lot easier with the 5000.

Thanks for the info on the setup on the "NR" it is quite helpful as I am a
newer K3 user as I stated and still trying to get the most from them.

73,
Fred/N0AZZ

Re: K3 DNR

W6NEK
In reply to this post by Gary Gregory
For anyone following this post, does Abbot and Costello's "Who's on first" routine ring any bells?

I'm done, now back from  whence I came,

  Frank,

  Tap to turn on NR and turn off NR

  Whether NR is on or off, a HOLD (1 sec) the NR will bring up adjustment, variable via VFO B

  There is no current facility to change the setting by SAVING it to a PF key which was the original inquiry.

   I have not had a Yaesu in my shack since I discarded the FTdx9000D and I thought that enough time had passed that Yaesu would have fixed that issue, but, apparently not?

  I have never found a need to do this as I have had the K3 long enough to get all my settings right. If a transceiver needs to have this adjusted continuously during qso's then I sure don't one of those.  :-)

  YMMV

    As far as I know NR TAP & HOLD (NR ADJ) is the only way to accomplish what he wants.

    Is there an easier way that I missed?
