[1000mp] Observations of W8JI Noise Blanker Mod

[Dean Fewkes]

I installed the W8JI noise blanker mod a few days ago and have since noticed a significant difference in the noise floor when turning the NB off and on. When switching it on, the noise floor gets noticeably louder compared to the off position. If I turn the NB level down, then the difference is less significant.

I am guessing that this is the difference that the mod made and the lower noise floor with the NB off is the improvement.

Just some interesting observations for others to compare to. I also have the roofing filter and the key-click mod installed.
