K3 Programmer's Reference - Noise Reduction

I know I'm missing it somewhere in the document, but I can't find a
command that sets the NR except for swt34; which does not trigger a
reply from the rig.

How do I query the K3 for the state of the NR?

In K31 mode, the "DS" command returns the state of main NR in bit 2. (Page 8)

More confusion...

I used the K3 utility to try the command nr; and it always returns
nr0; regardless of the NR setting.

How do I get the state of the NR????

"DS" command byte 2, bit 2 reflects the NR icon state, which will
normally be the MAIN NR but is SUB NR in BSET mode with the sub on.

"IC" command reports sub receiver NR status in byte e, bit 2.

Thanks to both of you guys!

I see the DS and IC commands and had considered using the IC command
last night but I'm embarased to say that I don't know how to get the
bits out of a byte.

Is there a function in the C# language to do that? Or does one of you
have 'C' or C# code that does this?

I searched all of the online doc for C# but found nothing that I
understood and unfortunately no example that fit my needs.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

To test the value of bit 0 in an 8-bit variable X in C, you can use
the bitwise AND operator (&):

if( X & 0b1 )
do_something()

0b1 is a binary constant that's the equivalent of a byte with only bit
0 set. It is used by the & operator as a "mask". If bit 0 of byte X is
also set, then the tested "if" statement will be true.

The other bits from 1 to 7 can be accessed with constant masks of
0b10, 0b100, 0b1000, 0b10000, 0b100000, 0b1000000, and 0b10000000. Or
you could use constant values of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128
(decimal) or 0x01, 0x02, 0x04, 0x08, 0x10, 0x20, 0x40, 0x80
(hexadecimal).
