Jim, 
    Do you have Fred Cady's book on the K3? What audio and noise reduction
issues are you experiencing ? I'm a new owner and a voracious reader and
find learning to use the radio for noise reduction is pretty daunting,
however, I also haven't had any noise issues that I couldn't adjust out to
isolate the desired signal.
I use the RF gain, pre-amp, roofing filtering, DSP filtering, NR settings,
AGC settings, NB and NB settings. In my mind the key is to understand what
each of these does, how they interact, general parameters of the received
signals in the bandpass (pre roofing filters), and being able to actually
hear the desired signal at to start. 

Just curious because my prior radio did a decent job but nothing even close
to what my K3S does. 
I have the 400Hz and 2.8KHz 8 pole roofing filters installed and use a
dipole for RX.

Al,

The thread will not go away until something is done to address the issue.

Elecraft makes the best "system" in the market place, however, the audio and
noise reduction implantation leaves a lot to be desired.

Oh no... Oh no, not the "bad K3 audio" thread again?!


I'm pretty sure that, five years from now, people will still be asking, "Was
the phase noise of the new synthesizers reviewed in QST ever fixed so that
it's better than the old synthesizer at higher offsets?"
