New Test

alorona
Okay, for better or for worse, I think we're all set to go. The files are up, and our gracious web host Hector AD4C has the files in the same directory as last time:

http://www.ad4c.us/Elecraft%20K3/shared%20files%20from%20K3%20users/W6LX%20recordings_/

which is a shared folder that he has made available for things like this. I encourage you to contact him if you want to store similar files. My deep thanks to Hector for helping out.

This time, there are four recordings. Once again, all four receivers were set to 500 Hz (nominal) bandwidth centered at near 550 Hz, RF gain at maximum, no preamp, taken straight from the headphone output. The recordings are of 40 meter band noise at night as heard near Los Angeles where it was 82 degrees yesterday and I barbecued dinner outdoors. :^)
 
One last thing... I'm getting a lot of resistance from some folks against doing this in this way. My response is simple: if you object to the way this test is being conducted, don't participate. All I'm asking is that you let the test run its course and at the end of it, you guys can exchange any and all transforms and analyses on the audio files you wish. That's all.
 
Reminder: To cut down on reflector traffic, respond to me privately.

Good luck,

Al  W6LX

Hi All,

Good initiative to do "blind tests" :-)
I only thought that quite a number of people had "noise problems" specifically listening to voice modes.
Would it be an idea to also make a test with SSB noise samples?

I submitted all 4 files to virustotal.com, which scans individual  
files with 40 different virus/malware detectors (including AVG  
8.5.0.430, updated 01/04/2010).  None of the 40 scanners found  
anything suspicious about any of the .wav files.

Must be something else.  I'm also using AVG 9.0 with the latest virus database files and it gives no warning.  Steve may have some other problem with his computer.
