K3 Operating Tip: Combining noise blanking and noise reduction

[wayne burdick]

The K3 has quite an array of tools for dealing with noise. At my QTH, I
have a compromise antenna for the low bands that serves up every type
of noise imaginable, so I get plenty of chances to put these tools to
the test.

When I switch to 160 m, I often hear strong pulse noise, as well as a
drifting "hash" every 15 kHz or so (likely from a switching power
supply) *and* a high level of atmospheric noise. Here's a general
approach to dealing with noise:

Atmospheric (white noise):

Noise varies from band to band, so the K3 saves both DSP and IF noise
blanker settings on a per-band/per-memory basis.
