[Elecraft] K2 Noise Blanker (KNB2) Demo

[Tom Hammond NØSS]

Hi Folks...

Over the last couple years, there have been several discussions about how 
effective the K2 Noise Blanker (KNB2) really is. Well, this morning, on 15M 
(21.025) I found the best demonstration of it's effectiveness that I've 
EVER experienced. K1LIK was working an SV (Greece) station. Neither station 
was terribly strong, and I had a pretty bad line noise problem at that time.

In desperation, I turned on the KNB2... and the noise just DISAPPEARED! I 
didn't believe it... I tried it again... and again it was like night and day.

I was so impressed that I made a 1:30 WAV file of part of the QSO and I now 
have it (UNedited, except to limit the length of the file) on my web site at:

There are a lot of other items out there as well, so feel free to 
rummage  through the DOWNLOAD page at:

You CANNOT listen to the file on-line! It is too large a file (nearly 2MB) 
and it would eat up my monthly download quota in a heartbeat. However, I 
have ZIPped it into an 814kB ZIP file which you can download by going to 
the URL shown above. Once you have it on your PC, THEN you can play it.

If anyone is interested enough to pull the file and upload it to THEIR 
server, for others to access, that would be just fine with me. If you do, 
PLEASE publish the address and I will then remove it from my site, to make 
room for other items of possible interest.

Enjoy.

P.S.

Yes, I know, there ARE some types of noise which the KNB2 will not address. 
But for those that it WILL address, it usually handles them quite well.
