[Elecraft] K3 Noise Reduction Performance

[Johnny Siu]

Yes, there are a few occasions when the NR in my K3 is effective.   However, 
there are indeed far many occasions when I have to massage around the 4 x 8 = 32 
settings and I do not find it easy to identify one to suit the then situation.

On the other hands, I simply set the NR knot at 10-11 o'clock in my Icom 
families.  This will suit 90% of the situation with little artifact and less 
listening fatigue.
 cheers,

主題： Re: [Elecraft] K3 Noise Reduction Performance


I have to disagree.  I have serious QRM at my location and when I use settings 
2-5 with Med 2 IF on my NR, it cleans up ALL of the electrical noise in my 
area.  I ALWAYS drop at least 3 S-Units of noise each time I turn mine on.  
However, if there can be even more improvement than I'm all for it.
