[Elecraft] Question about KNB2 Noise Blanker

[Donald Nesbitt]

Hi Thom.  Not to prolong the agony (I think that Wayne has already put this
on the "list" - hope it moves up to a high priority), but I have the same
problem as you do and for general "power-line" noise, my KNB2 is useless -
however, there is a certain "pop, popping, frying" noise that is S9+30 on 80
meters that it eliminates completely!!  Too bad I don't operate 80!

I'd be glad to beta test something if anyone's got some mods (yes, I already
tried changing the "NB2" capacitor a number of times all to no avail).  Now
before anyone gets too terribly defensive, I've already rated my K2 as way
above my Pro II and the Mark V - but simply put, the noise blanker could use
some technical attention.  73 es Happy New Year --Don N4HH
K2/100/#2028/KPA100, etc. etc.
