[Elecraft] OT: Noise Reduction (NR) in FM Mode

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Yeah, it's been all too many years, but hard limiters were not used in many
designs and no FM detector is completely immune to noise. 

It brings back memories of just how loud and strong ignition impulse noise
used to be back in the 50's before anyone did anything to suppress it! Used
to roar through on 2 meter AM in the home station from cars hundreds of
yards away at times!

I was kidding about Motorola/ Working in land mobile with E.F. Johnson
equipment, "Motorola" was always in our sights ;-) We did very well in the
San Francisco area because we did have superior repeater sites. The Motorola
gear was very good stuff as was the E.F. Johnson.

That could be, Ron.
I remember when GE had it in their radio, and we
didn't, it soon showed up so we could compete in bids.
I imagine the bid process drove that more than any
actual need :-)
