K3 NB-DSP in thunderstorm static

[pd0psb]

Hi all,

I tend to use NB IF WID 1/2/3 most often to get rid off rattle/pulse noises, quite comparable to the Drake NB.

Yesterday night we had quite a lot of thunderstorm static over Western Europe so I played a bit more with the different NB settings.

I found that NB DSP settings t1-7 and t2-7 are quite effective with thunderstorm static crashes.
Without the DSP-NB static has quite strong peaks making copying difficult.

With the NB DSP settings t1-7/t2-7 static crashes get a more soft "brushing" character which is very good to make listening "into the noise" more easy.

Good job!

Thanks for the NB tip. Can't wait for some QRN to try this out.
It is good to see some useful information instead of all these off topic
post about lids, cw and attitude!! 73
