[Elecraft] K3 Noise Reduction

[Carl Yaffey]

I had the same issue with my K3s. Now that I have an FTdx101D, no more problems with noise.

I tried both my K3's Noise Reduction and Noise Blanker functions, and was unable to find any setting that gave useful relief.  With the noise blanker, in particular, I noticed that when it was on, not only was the buzz still very strong, but it seemed as if all CW signals on the band were being hum-modulated.  As soon as I turned off the noise blanker, the CW signals cleaned up.  Is there something wrong with my radio, or an adjustment issue, or is this interference simply too strong?  Obviously, I'll be trying to track it down, but it's not there all the time, so that could be tough.
