Noise Clicks...still!

k1tl
Hi Gang,

Had problem with "noise clicks" while using the width control before this
latest fw upgrade. I thought that this was supposed to be addressed with the
latest fw. I have 3.52 installed and still have clicks in the headphones
when adjusting the width control.  I thought it might be caused by some of
the stations that were loud, due to the close proximity of the signals but
did not have this before 3.44 fw.

Has anybody else have similar problems with this "artifact"?

I hear a click when changing between 0.15 and 0.10.

Could you just be hearing the width steps. That is all I hear here.

Hi Tom,

Yes, after saying I did not hear them I just this moment did hear them in my
out board speaker. Looks like a CW sig needs to be present before I hear
them, but they are very prominent

Re: Noise Clicks...still!

David Gilbert

Yes ... I can hear them prominently when using the WIDTH control as
well.  I tried both AF-HI and AF-LO, as well as AGC-F and AGC-S, with
the same result.  No AFX, no NB, no NR or anything like that, and it
happens in both CW and SSB modes as long as there is a tone present in
the background (CW, PSK, tuner-upper, etc).  It's more pronounced with
wider bandwidths, of course, since the noise clicks are sharp and have
lots of high frequency components.

I'm using FW 3.52.

Re: Noise Clicks...still!

The Smiths
In reply to this post by Doug Alspaugh

I've always found that if you have a loud CW signal present, and you start narrowing down the passband width just adjacent to them, you get clicks.. That's just codes little way of knocking at the door of the filter... Until you get narrow enough, or far enough away from their transmission your going to hear them.  If the signal is an S4 of S5 you probably wont here them nearly as close as say someone at S9 or 20 over S9.  That's what I've found anyhow.  This has ALWAYS been the case.  Perhaps it has something to do with the fact I have Filters in my rig, and not just depending on the DSP???

In general, be sure you have FIR rather than IIR filters selected.
CONFIG:FLx GN and tap "7" until you see the message "IIR OFF"

You can use most any of the CONFIG:FL menus for this.

The click or "pop" as you go between a width of 0.15 and 0.10 is normal.

K3: L-mix-R

Arie Kleingeld PA3A-2

I've tried the L-mix-R this weekend. It is good step forward but still, I am
missing one setting. What I would really like, is this:
Ab - Ba

I am writing it like this because I would like the main RX to be normal
level in left ear (A) and reduced level in right ear (a), and Sub RX normal
level in right ear (B) and reduced level in left ear (b).

This gives a more natural sound and equals my attention for Main and Sub RX.
It would be nice if this would be an extra menu setting to choose from.


73,
Arie PA3A

Wayne,
Do you think that you can get this feature working in Diversity mode as well?  That's where it would be most helpful for me..

Re: K3: L-mix-R

Frank R. Oppedijk-2
In reply to this post by Arie Kleingeld PA3A-2
Hi,

In addition to Arie's remarks, I would like to be able to select
these options in the L-MIX-R menu:
    A-A
    B-B
If these options are in the L-MIX-R menu, I can use the MN111 and MP
commands to set the audio mixing to: main receiver only (A-A) or sub
receiver only (B-B).

It may look silly to want to select these options, but during SO2V
contesting it is sometimes very handy to be able to listen to one
receiver on both ears and completely mute the other receiver.

73,

Frank PA4N

P.S. Currently, I have implemented something similar by using the
!bec3; and !bed8; commands, but sometimes this results in very loud
audio. So I'd rather go the neater route with the MN111 (L-MIX-R) command.
