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 ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

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... 73, Bruce, N1RX ______________________________________________________________ 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 |

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. 73, Fred/N0AZZ -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Bruce Beford Sent: Sunday, September 02, 2012 6:14 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 DNR Fred, Others here (none-FT5000) owners may be able to help with your question if they knew specifically what you were talking about.

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. 73, Bruce, N1RX On Sun, 2 Sep 2012 09:40:58 -0500, Fred Smith <[hidden email]> wrote: 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. > > 73, > Fred/N0AZZ > > -----Original Message----- > From: [hidden email] > [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Bruce Beford > Sent: Sunday, September 02, 2012 6:14 AM > To: [hidden email] > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 DNR > > Fred, > Others here (none-FT5000) owners may be able to help with your question if > they knew specifically what you were talking about.

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.

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.

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 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fred Smith" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Sunday, September 02, 2012 2:39 AM Subject: [Elecraft] K3 DNR <SNIP> > 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.

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.

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? 73...

*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 73 * On 3 September 2012 08:23, W6NEK <[hidden email]> wrote: > 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? > 73...

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 -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Gary Gregory Sent: Sunday, September 02, 2012 6:00 PM To: W6NEK Cc: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 DNR *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.

Thank you Frank for your help and I am finished also wish I had never posted
sorry. 73, Fred/N0AZZ -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of W6NEK Sent: Sunday, September 02, 2012 8:18 PM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 DNR For anyone following this post, does Abbot and Costello's "Who's on first" routine ring any bells?

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 73 On 3 September 2012 08:23, W6NEK <[hidden email]> wrote: 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? 73...

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 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fred Smith" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Sunday, September 02, 2012 2:39 AM Subject: [Elecraft] K3 DNR <SNIP> > 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.
