[Elecraft] Your opinion on K3s settings for best weak signal cw reception

[Brian Hunt]

I use an audio spectrum display - Spectrogram - to fine tune a barely there weak signal. Set tuning rate to 1 Hz - the APF peak is less than 10 Hz. Set the frequency cursor in Spectrogram to your pitch frequency. Set the DSP bandwidth wide so the NR works effectively ~ 700 Hz. Use NR mode ~m5-3 so the APF has some unprocessed signal to work on. It takes practice but works.
