[Elecraft] (Elecraft K3) KDVR

[Mike]

Tom, try these steps.

1. With dog and wife away, and fans off, see how you sound, adjust as 
necessary. This is your baseline.

2. Dog barks, put outside

3. Wife yells, see #2.

4. After front door slams, followed by ominous silence, go outside to 
retreive all your belongings from the front garden.

5. Bang fist futilely on door for readmittance, and be alert to catch 
the rigs as they come through the window.

Seriously, set it once and forget it. Extraneous noise is not best dealt 
with by fiddling with the mic settings.

73,
Mike NF4L

I recognise that this may not be a true reproduction of the outgoing signal, but it does give me an idea of the level of residual back ground noise from fans, dog barking, wife yelling at me to get and do something useful and so on. That way I can make adjustments to the mike gain and compressor gain if neccessary. The trouble is that the K3 produces a slight processing delay between my speech and the sidetone, which I find most disconcerting. I usually end up using my old TS-850 for 'phone instead of the K3 because of this.
