[Elecraft] My Noise Blanker REALLY works!

[Bob Evans]

I have had my K2s for several months now and have never had occasion to see
the NB really do a number on any of the noises I have run across on HF.  It
wasn't much of a problem because I was always able to work through any
particular noise and I assumed the noise was more atmospheric than anything
else.  Well, the other night, I was playing around at 2AM on 40M and an S9
intermittent noise popped up that probably was a neighbor's outside halogen
yard light arcing over in the thick morning fog.  I pushed the NB button and
the noise absolutely disappeared. I couldn't believe my ears until I turned
the NB off and the noise was S9 again.  Man, that was impressive!  I had
thought the NB in the K2 was just a novelty until I saw this particular
noise get erased so completely.  I continue to be more and more impressed
with these radios.
