I just want to thank the Elecraft gang for the noise blanker. The bands have been wretched here lately, and the noise blanker has made a HUGE difference in my ability to copy during my last several QSOs. I'll go for long periods without using it, then along comes a spell of this kind of high freq pulsing noise and the blanker is worth its weight in gold. Parker WD8JOL K2 #2636
