[Elecraft] Sub RX Noise Blanker - 3051

[Joe Planisky]

So you're saying that if I have the main RX and sub RX tuned to  
different frequencies and want to turn on the NB on both, I have to  
hit A->B twice, thereby moving the sub RX to the same frequency as the  
main RX, and then retune the sub to the frequency it was at before?   
That would be ... awkward.

And if I'm in diversity mode and want to turn on NB on both RX's, I  
have to hit NB then A->B??? That doesn't make any sense either.
