[Elecraft] NR Use in contacting 9N7MD

[W5RDW]

Yesterday morning was my first real rigorous test for the NR and all its
capability. If not for it, I would never had understood my call if they
returned to me. Fortunately, since they were going thru the US by the
numbers, I had time to fiddle with the various NR levels. Previous to today,
the F5-1 was plenty adequate for most contacts. However, last night, before
their signal started to improve, it was a savior. The F5-1 setting was only
adequate but not the cure. As I explored the other options, I found how,
with careful settings of the volume, BW Cuts and NR, you can make a signal
intelligent when there seems to be no other way. I settled on using F7-2
(never been there before) as the best compromise and at least could tell
there was a human being speaking and I actually understood him!

Like an earlier poster, Tim,  said, it sure would be nice to have the NR,
".....adjust like this:  1-2, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 1-2, 2-2, 3-2, 4-2, etc.”  I
second that motion after last night. It seems like I usually use the first
or second levels. 

All in all, I am pleased, especially since I am in the log now for 9N7MD on
CW and SSB! I am happy!
