The ability of the "sticky" feature to keep the NB enabled when switching bands is worth the price of admition alone! Thanks for the upgrade!

You'll need the KX3 Utility application to download and install firmware. For full instructions on loading beta releases, refer to our KX3 software page: http://www.elecraft.com/KX3/KX3_software.htm DETAILS: The KX3's noise blanking level can now be set using the knob above the NB switch (AF/RF-SQL). When NB is turned on (by HOLDing the NB switch), the present setting (1-15) will be displayed on VFO B for about 3 seconds. To select a new setting, rotate the knob before the display times out. The display will then persist until you tap any switch. A subsequent hold of NB will turn the NB off. The NB setting is stored per-band, as is the NB's on/off state. Important notes: - The noise blanker is intended to reduce the amplitude of repetitive pulse noise with a fast rise time. It will not suppress atmospheric noise. For that, you may want to try NR (noise reduction). - Noise blankers will cause a certain amount of intermod or shaping of signals when set too aggressively. We minimized this with our new DSP algorithms, but you'll still want to use the lowest effective setting. "NB 1" will do the least blanking and create essentially no artifacts. Settings up through "NB 8" or so will still minimize artifacts. If the noise is really strong, you can go all the way up to 15. These higher settings are great for digging out weak signals, but can modify the sound of strong signals somewhat and cause some pumping on a busy band. __._,_.___ _Reply via web post_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJyazBoOHA5BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARtc2dJZ AMyODIxOQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNycGx5BHN0aW1lAzEzNjgxNjQzNjQ-?act=reply&messageNum =28219) _Reply to sender _ (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Re:%20KX3%20Beta%20firmware%20rev%201.48:%20%20Adjustable%20noise%20blanker%20level) _Reply to group _ (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Re:%20KX3%20Beta%20firmware%20rev%201.48:%20%20Adjustable%20noise%20blanker%20level) _Start a New Topic_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmc21xOGRnBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNudHB jBHN0aW1lAzEzNjgxNjQzNjQ-) _Messages in this topic_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/message/28137;_ylc=X3oDMTM3dmphbXZnBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzc 0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARtc2dJZAMyODIxOQRzZWMDZnRyBHNsawN2dHBjBHN 0aW1lAzEzNjgxNjQzNjQEdHBjSWQDMjgxMzc-) (13) Recent Activity: * _New Members_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJndWFvZG0wBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZ WMDdnRsBHNsawN2bWJycwRzdGltZQMxMzY4MTY0MzY0?o=6) 34 * _New Photos_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/spnew;_ylc=X3oDMTJndmVrdm5tBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMD dnRsBHNsawN2cGhvdARzdGltZQMxMzY4MTY0MzY0) 22 * _New Files_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/files;_ylc=X3oDMTJoYnBqcmprBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDd nRsBHNsawN2ZmlsZXMEc3RpbWUDMTM2ODE2NDM2NA--) 2 _Visit Your Group_ (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3;_ylc=X3oDMTJmZjBtbzRyBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDdnRsBHNs awN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzEzNjgxNjQzNjQ-) (http://groups.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTJlNTc3aGJoBF9TAzk3NDc2NTkwBGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNnZnAEc3RpbWUDMTM2ODE2NDM2 NA--) Switch to: _Text-Only_ (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Change Delivery Format: Traditional) , _Daily Digest_ (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Email Delivery: Digest) • _Unsubscribe_ (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe) • _Terms of Use_ (http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/) • _Send us Feedback _ (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Feedback on the redesigned individual mail v1) . __,_._,___ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
