K3 NR Problem

Greetings,

I have recently gotten my K3 # 661 back from Elecraft where all updates were installed.

Running 4.51.

I tried to use Noise Reduction, and when pushing the NR button, I get N/A.

When holding the NR button, I get N/A.

I don't find any NR menu items for NR. Is there some way that the NR can be toggled off?

Any ideas from the gang?

73, Ken N6TZV

Re: K3 NR Problem

Ken,

Were you in a Data mode? NR is not applicable for data modes.

Are you in data mode by chance?

Don,

No, that's the first thing I checked. In USB on 20M.

Re: K3 NR Problem SOLVED

Adrian and Jim,

You nailed it!

I hadn't noticed that the AGC was apparently turned off at the factory.

I did hear a couple of big spikes of noise and went in to check AGC slope and other adjustments.

I'm just spending so much time with the KX3 I've missed the obvious!

Thanks folks!

Are you in Data mode?

If so, try it in USB or CW.
