[Elecraft] S-meter / NB

[Evert Bakker]

Hello guys,

When I connect my K2 to a dummy load, the S-meter will lit up with one 
LED but *only* on USB mode when in receive.
The SSBA is set to 2
I  did go through the S-meter alignment procedure but it didn't help.
Any suggestions what this could be?



Second
How good is the Elecraft Noise-Blanker unit?
I'm living in an area with quite a lot of motor QRN (Ventilation boxes).
The NB isn't doing anything with that.
I also have a Drake TR7 (great radio) and the NB is reducing the rattle 
with more then 30 dB!
How they did it, I dont know but my Ten-Tec Paragon can't beat the TR7 
NB as well.

Is there a good way to check if the NB is working properly or as intended?

Thanks for answer(s)
