[Elecraft] Noise Blanker K2

Wed Oct 1 23:40:01 2003

Howdy Folks,

I'm glad someone had the moxie to bring this up.  For a long time now, I
have played with my noise blanker in old number 3413 and never could tell if
anything ever happened.  Maybe the MPU switched something around, but I
never was able to tell what changes it made on noise.

So, how does one know if ones noise blanker works?  Is there a tape or a
wave file of lightening crashes with and without the noise blanker?

That's something I appreciate about the DSP filters.  I may not understand
10 % of all the capability it has and how to get the best out of my radio,
but I sure can tell it's doing something!  Where did the woodpecker go?  At
least we had a way to see if the noise blanker worked?  Bring back the cold
war!  It would fix the economy, too!

Seriously, any comments on what to expect from the noise blanker?
