MCU 3.30 DSP 2.26

I was wondering about the reports of maximum volume audio reports on the
latest firmware. For the "Everybody Loves Raymond" fans - Frank's famous line sums it up: "Holy Crap" During sending an exchange in the TN QSO Party - pure noise, loud and no signals. Lost the QSO, almost broke the boom mike getting the headset off, spilled beer on the keyboard (but I have a couple spares) and couldn't hear for a few minutes. Loaded my last beta. 73 Hank K8DD ____________________________________________________________ FREE 3D MARINE AQUARIUM SCREENSAVER - Watch dolphins, sharks & orcas on your desktop!

My upgrade to the latest FW 3.30 and DSP 2.26 was smooth and easy as
all the other Beta ones and it works perfect,no distorsion,audio is practically the same level in all the NR settings and in some of them the noise is totally wiped out sounding as FM,nothing wrong on mine here.

Fix needed?
This happened to me during the TN QSO party - I was on 80 cw trying to adjust the antenna tuner when it hit - it was loud - no volume control, no signals - Thank God I wasn't running my headset thought it was going to blow the speaker. I shut rig off and turned it back on and proceeded with my QSO! Doesn't appear to be any long term affect? This happened on my first K3 - was running SO1R 73 de Bill N4ZI K3 # 1059 & K3 #2914 --- On Sun, 9/6/09, .k8dd. <[hidden email]> wrote: From: .k8dd. <[hidden email]> Subject: [Elecraft] MCU 3.30 DSP 2.26 To: "'Elecraft_List'" <[hidden email]> Date: Sunday, September 6, 2009, 10:47 PM I was wondering about the reports of maximum volume audio reports on the latest firmware.

Make sure you CC [hidden email] when you have issues to be sure
someone see the problem. I was one of the first people to report this same issue with the last revision of the beta and on my second post I included support which elicited a response on the weekend and they started working on it then. I have not had this happen since I downloaded MCU 3.30 / DSP 2.26 , and yesterday I spent sometime seeing if it would happen, didn't come close to doing at least as far as I could tell by listening to the rig, before the loud, uncontrolled noise was preceded by distinctive audio that sounded like cadisflies ( moderately high frequency oscillation), none this time. Speeds up the process you know and it is a process, thats why it is called a beta release. Sure stinks when it happens though and you are wearing the headset. Almost sounds like a feedback loop but is that possible with a digital radio?

You're right - the 3.30/2.26 NR, although it is slow, it is really good
once you find the setting that works best for the situation. And although it cannot be readily duplicated, it is still a problem that would most likely cause those who have had it happen to see it as a major problem, and not use that MCU/DSP set. I know it has changed my thoughts on trying the "latest & greatest" beta firmware! 73 Hank K8DD K9ZTV wrote: > The NR on SSB is spectacular in the latest version with no volume > problems.

Yeah, I guess that sometimes we forget what the role of a beta tester
is. It's not to be the first one to have the new software. When you are a beta tester, which you are if you load beta software, your role and responsibility is to report problems and not to complain about them. No software, newly written, is bug free and sometimes those bugs can be downright annoying but that's what beta testers are for. 73, Ted, W2ZK .k8dd. wrote: > You're right - the 3.30/2.26 NR, although it is slow, it is really good > once you find the setting that works best for the situation.

If anyone experiences a "loud noise blast" from your K3 when running the
latest Beta code, it would help us immensely if you could supply the following information: 1) Was NR in use? 2) If so, what was the NR setting (NR ADJ value) 3) Does the noise go away if NR is turned off? 4) What were your AGC Threshold and Slope settings? (CONFIG:AGC THR and CONFIG AGC SLP) 5) Band, mode, roofing filter? Please accept my apologies for this. Believe me, I *want* to find the gremlin! Why else would I be asking about this on a holiday weekend? Thank you for your patience with helping test this K3 Beta code, Lyle KK7P ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Lyle,
Most of us understand that we are beta testers and what our responsibilities in that role are. We appreciate what you are doing and I will repeat again that the new NR function is awesome -- better than anything else out there by a lot. We are all anxious to help solve the noise problem. In my case, the noise blast was preceded by a period of time (several minutes) when the volume control did not work. I had it turned to minimum and could still hear the signals at normal volume. When I tried to fix that by twiddling the volume control and/or adjusting the NR settings, the noise blast happened. Thanks again for working on the holiday weekend. 73 de W6BK On Sep 7, 2009, at 8:41 AM, Lyle Johnson wrote: > If anyone experiences a "loud noise blast" from your K3 when running > the > latest Beta code, it would help us immensely if you could supply the > following information: > > > 1) Was NR in use? > > 2) If so, what was the NR setting (NR ADJ value) > > 3) Does the noise go away if NR is turned off? > > 4) What were your AGC Threshold and Slope settings?

Lyle, it has happened to me once after upgrading to 3.30/2.26. My AGC settings were at default and I did not have the NR on. I was on CW with my 500hz roofing filter engaged as FL2. When I pushed the filter button to go back to FL1 the noise blast hit. 73, Bill nz0t |
