[Elecraft] How to test noise blanker

[Brian Murrey]

I could be wrong...but I think the NB is desgned to block out automobile
ignition noise, which comes in real handy when it is in a K2 doing Mobile
Operations.

You can try it in your car, with the car running and see what kind of
difference it makes.
