K3 V2.20/1..88
Locked

Just loaded my first beta. I've been a chicken for several weeks waiting till things went into production. 2.02 to 2.20 is a lot of updates to the firmware. I got tired of waiting. Everything went hunkydory. Set the SLP at 8 and Threshold at 6 and works great! The NR button works differently now.... The weak signal pops up out of the noise (the noise is abated) and I can copy the station. I am listen on 40 CW. Adjusting the Noise Reduction parameters even help farther. There is not reduction of audio....but the signal just pops out. Great job for Elecraft. Lee - K0WA In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is Common Sense divine? _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Wow, I really must have something set differently than everyone
else. Or maybe the absence of any noise this evening is making the difference. Stan W5EWA Houston, TX K2/100 SN 4216 K3/100 SN 0690 Lee Buller wrote: > Just loaded my first beta.

Yes I did. I wound up with SLP set to 8 and Threshold at 5. I just
changed the threshold setting to 6 and I think it made some difference. The audio with NR on is considerably louder than with previous versions of the firmware. I can really tell a difference on CW. So I think I'm ok. I had an adjacent signal just below where I was listening and with the threshold set to 5 it may have been causing a little more pumping that was causing the AGC to reduce the audio a little. Actually I'm not sure if the lower setting of the threshold creates a stronger AGC action or not. Listening to some different signals around the band revealed that I do have a little more audio with the NR on than I did with past versions of the firmware.

Stan,
My unmeasured ears tell me that when NR is engaged, the overall audio sound of the desired SSB signal stays about the same, but the overall audio is reduced because the noise is not longer present. Maybe my ears are different than yours, but that is what I am hearing. 73, Don W3FPR Stan Rife wrote: > Wow, I really must have something set differently than everyone > else.
