[Elecraft] K3 Noise blanker

[Gary Smith]

Another question for K3 owners:

I have a severe case of RFI which is intermittent and I wrote about 
it in a post to the RFI forum. You can hear an example of it here if 
you wish, it's less than a meg in size:http://doctorgary.net/QRM-
1.mp3 Not to go into much detail on the specific RFI here but to 
understand the character of the issue, read my detailed post on the 
rfi reflector and go here:

I have a Corsair II whose noise blanked usually does a fair job of 
eliminating this RFI. My Omni V does nothing to reduce this RFI. It 
usually happens at night. As I am more into low band DXing, this is 
an issue.

My question for this forum is to ask how satisfied you are with the 
noise reduction in the K3 as opposed to your experiences with other 
recievers with similar RFI as I am experiencing.

I have not to date found the source of the RFI so perhaps a better 
noise blanker is what I will find that is my best option. The K3 
seems to be getting a lot of great press so I am interested in the 
K3. A superior noise blanker is imperitave but I would not be willing 
to have a radio that hears less well than the Corsair II or Omni V.

I have a few other K3 questions but will ask them in separate posts.

Thank you,

Gary
