[Elecraft] Noise Blanker settings for Newbies

Sub 100 serial number K3

 

CW mode, 20m, low SWR.

 

Mostly using the 500Hz filter.

 

I don't know the radio at all. . . .but

 

I press NB, twizzle with VFO A and VFO B and get things set to where I think
they should

 

be to dampen my neighbours electric fence noise, but after a couple of short
transmissions I hear the rig

 

clicking away (relays) and then I see the NB flashing (it's evidently
unhappy with my DSP choices), so another round of twizzling.  Maybe I have
it set too wide.....too narrow......not close enough matching.....scratch my
head.

 

After a half hour of various settings and looking in the manual (and then in
the mirror to see if I have stupid written on my forehead) I come here for
sage words of wisdom.

 

 

 

 

Is there something obvious that I am doing wrong?

 

 

 

 

I have no idea what S/W revision I am using and barely know most of the
options the rig has and cannot ask the PO .

 

 

 

 

Help>?!

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the nice welcome guys and I can certainly get a S/W version (if
that's important to this discussion)
