[Elecraft] K3 noise-blanker

[JIM DAVIS]

Gentlemen,

I'm really interested in the K3 but what I'm asking of anyone on this reflector is how GOOD IS 
IT???
I presently use a TT ORION which has a fantastic 9mhz. (hardware) blanker and has made all the
difference in the world for my being able to copy weak signals, especially since our typical
noise level here is S-9+ without it!!!  So short of my having to MOVE somewhere else (not feasible
at this time!!!) has anyone COMPARED the i.f noise blankers of both the K3 and the TT Orion
yet???

Many thanks,

Jim Davis/nn6ee
