[Elecraft] K-3 Noise Reduction

[Ron Midwin]

I have a K-3, S/N 1997 and was talking to a friend who also has a K-3 on the
air recently.  He mentioned that he also recently purchased a Yaesu FT 5000
and noticed that the noise reduction on the FT 5000 seems to do a better job
of reducing the noise while still having good copy on the signal.

 

I told him that I don't use the NR often, and when I have tried it, I also
notice that even in the 1-1 setting the signal seems to lose some of its
clarity.  So I'm hoping this is a cockpit issue on our end and that some of
you have your NR working well.  Any comments would be appreciated.  Other
than this, I still really love my K-3.  I also am using the LP-Pan Adapter
and find it really makes my single receiver K-3 almost a Flex 1000 on the
receive, and I can listen to 2 signals via stereo headphones, one in each
ear.
