[Elecraft] K3 DNR

[Fred Smith]

Thanks Vic and Frank

I had only been using the CW part I guess stopped to soon that is the reason
for the problem glad that that you answered. It was obvious that most had no
idea of how well the DNR worked on the 5000 and some of it's very good
features. It would be nice at times to bring up other radios in a discussion
and not have some not offended by it because it isn't an Elecraft. The
FT-5000 after all did have the best receiver in the testing done against the
K3 but as I said I do have 2 K3's that should say something, both radios
have their strong and weak points.

As with all reflectors (I belong to several) you must toss out a lot of the
posts as ones that aren't well informed or just plain wrong. They all have
their cheerleaders Yaesu, Elecraft, Icom are a few I subscribe to the
Elecraft is the most active I must admit for sure. That is one thing I like
about Elecraft is the quality of the posts for the most part, keep up the
good work.

Thx & 73,
Fred/N0AZZ

Hi Fred,
I agree that the 15 step DNR control on the FT5000 is a very useful and
effective function.  To gain access to the K3 NR settings you need to press
and hold the NR button (NR ADJ).  The settings will appear in the VFO B
portion of the display.  There are a total of 32 noise reduction steps with
the first 16 tailored to CW mode (F1-1 thru F4-4) and the remaining 16
tailored for SSB mode (F5-1 thru F8-4).  While not as convenient as the
variable NR setting on the FT5000, it's just as effective.  You can read all
about it on page 25 of the Operating Manual.

73,
