Hopefully for those who have a go, the Hainan woodpecker
won't rear its ugly head.

Which reminds me, I do not recall seeing any useful
feedback here as to how well the K3's noise blanker
deals with all the OTHRs on the ham bands nowadays.
The British & Chinese woodpeckers can be heard
just about every day on 80-10m, so somebody must
have had an opportunity by now...
