[50mhz] Re: [VHF] IC 7000 noise blanker question

[John Shalamskas]

The noise blanker in the FT100 series will take S9 ignition noise down 
to just about nothing... the IC706 noise blanker is very weak by 
comparison.  (On transmit, though, the 706 is a lot better - superior 
speech processor and rugged final amplifier.  But you can't work 'em if 
you can't hear 'em.)
