[Elecraft] Does KX1 have a noise blanker?

The unit on my bench does not have a noise blanker, per se, but that may =
not
be the whole answer either.

Let me point out that like most of us on the reflector I am an Elecraft
customer, I am also a writer doing some work for Wayne to help him pull
together the manual for the KX1. To do that work, I have what Wayne =
calls
KX1 "serial number 2" in bits all over my bench slowing approaching the
point where it'll make RF.=20

Since Wayne and Eric are on the road this morning, I've answered a few
questions of fact such as "...where are the toroids?" or "...does it =
have an
encoder?" but the KX1 is entirely Wayne's "baby".=20

Wayne's the one responsible for every resistor, capacitor (and, yes, =
toroid)
in there and why it is there. Wayne is, in every sense, the "Proud Papa" =
of
the KX1 and he should answer all the questions about performance, design
choices, future options, etc.

Equally important, Wayne can discuss -- to the extent he dares -- what =
other
ideas he has rolling around in his head for the new member of the =
Elecraft
family.

A noise blanker is "make or break" for my mobile operation (mostly =
RX-only).
Does the KX1 have one?
