I used a K3 in the NAQP CW this weekend like others on the reflector.
I noticed a lot of noise on my 160 receiving antennas and was
surprised to find that turning the noise blanker off made most of it
go away.  On the other bands NB does not increase the noise but does
significantly on 160.  Anyone else notice this?  The noise is not at
all like what you get when you turn blankers on on other radios and
there are strong signals present, it just sounds like man-made noise.
