>>I have to admit I finally heard a NB work today.  It was K3 #24's.
>>Frankly, I'm amazed.... and very pleased.  I had been trying to prove
>>that the K3's NB wouldn't be any better than the other dozen or so
>>I've had time to try out over the years.  Read on.

>>There is some bizarre OTH monopulse radar going on, quite audible on
>>60m channels. It registers around S8 here.  I can kill it with IF MED1
>>or MED2 and a light dusting of the DSP T2-7.  With the NB on these
>>settings, the band noise shows S5 or so.  Back to the normal
>>background noise.  Mainly city-dweller noise.  No pops.  Just sky
>>noise or local stuff.

>>I apologize for being A Doubter.  At least there is a freq and time
>>for all to see the same results:  0500Z or so would do it, at least on
>>the West Coast of the US.  I've observed the same basic stuff(tm) on
>>60m over a span of weeks of band-scanning.
>>
>>Not bad Elecraft!  Rep rate is maybe 8-10 Hz or so, and there are two
>>sources.  One at the S8 level, and another about S9+15.  Both can be
>>made to disappear at will.  With the right noise blanker that is.
>>
>>Thanks, Wayne and Eric.
